Pros

There are still some great people left in the company. One of the founders is a developer himself.

Cons

Geneca used to be a great company. It was a great place for developers. But at one point the revenues flattened out and sales guy was brought in. He muscled into a managing director role and took over the place. Now morale is down, brown-nosing is rampant, people are scared to speak-up. You get forced out for speaking up. Developers are no longer treated like people. Everyone is disposable. Everyone was also forced on a salary and now are pushed to work extra hours. Some of the other reviews look like astroturfing.

Pros

Geneca has been good to me since day one. I'm very happy with my salary and the way upper management has treated me. I rarely work over 40 hours a week, which is a big improvement from my last company. I've been with Geneca around two years now and they've exceeded my expectations and then some. The people I work with our smart and dedicated to technology, but also cool people, who "get it". I honestly can't see myself being happier somewhere else.

Cons

You have to be up for meeting the challenge. Our work is in no way easy. Geneca's projects are complex and challenging. If you don't feel extremely confident in your development skills than this probably is not the place for you to hang your hat. I see interviews walk in and out of Geneca all day long, very few get the job.

Pros

Excellent pay, and given the focus on total project ownership, ample opportunities are given to work on different aspects of the development lifecycle. There is a strong push from management for individuals to move ahead and try new things. There is also broad support for expanding ones skills, both development and consulting.

Cons

The benefits are not as generous as other companies. While the pay is excellent, no over time or comp time is given. Bonuses so far are rather underwhelming.
