Good company, with some flaws

Pros

- Your next jump after GeekyAnts would likely be quite good because they work on modern technologies/frameworks right from the alpha stage that very few companies in India do, so when these technologies take off, GeekyAnts employees get good offers due to the large demand-supply gap. - Open source contribution is extensive which helps a lot in learning as well as getting recognition for your work. - You get to work end-to-end on projects. - You get good exposure for personality development, grooming and networking, like speaking opportunities at their tech talks and other meetups. - The work culture is actually pretty good. - Higher management is friendly and very approachable. If you want to talk, you can just directly message them and they'll meet you. - The crowd is young and vibrant.

Cons

- Over the years, they've brought many friends and family members without any kind of recruitment process to the company. They're all good people but it has brought a bit of class difference and depicts nepotism. - More than that, it seems unfair since it's the early employees that joined when the company was nothing, who should be getting the privileges, but they're just treated as "valued employees". All of this is apparent to the newer employees too. - The lack of good tech leads and product managers is not acknowledged. - There are very few senior members. That brings ownership but also too much responsibility without enough guidance. - The major reason for employees to quit is better salary. They want to stay if offered a matching package but are rarely retained despite the fact that senior members are much required. - About 25% of the salary package is divided into bonuses (mostly year-end bonus). - Biases, stereotypes and presumptions exist, due to which sometimes deserving employees don't get their due credit and contributions are ignored.

Pros

1. They work on latest framework, yes framework(it's different from technology). 2. Mac for all. 3. Office Food though charged from you.

Cons

1. After a project or two, you will die of boredom. 2. When i was working there, most of the time tech lead was of no help to me, rather he was like a client manager. Assigning client work on trello. LOL! 3. Rarely interested in retaining good people. 4. BUILDERX, it's just to show the outer world that they are doing something amazing, where as it's been 2 years since it's alpha version was released. LOL! 5. No good client. 6. Low Salary.
