Antra,-Inc

If you are looking to break into an industry, especially if you are trying to bridge the gap between your college education and the requirements for a career in IT, then Antra will definitely help you achieve your goals.

You will initially spend 3-4 months being trained and mentored; in my experience, the person who trained and mentored me was extremely kind, knowledgeable, and helpful. Everything I learned during this time period is invaluable, as it will be useful throughout my career.

If you get through training successfully, the marketing team will help you apply and interview for positions on client projects. This process is intimidating and quite uncomfortable, but you will have a support system that makes it much more manageable. One criticism I have is that the sales representatives will often send you positions that do not fit your skillset. But, other than that, it is a straightforward process in which you can land a project in only a few weeks.

Once you are on a client project, you will continue to learn and grow as a professional in your industry. The compensation is... not so great, but the experience makes it worthwhile, in my honest opinion.

I strongly recommend Antra if this appeals to your current situation.

Everyone, including instructors and marketing staffs, work their best to fully support individual contractors to nail a contract from an end client. Yes, that means we have to deal with screenings, assessments, and interviews from vendors and end clients.

Still, individual contractors must work harder to get assigned into an end client project. No one can help if we are not committed to help ourselves. We must seek for knowledge and stories outside of Antra ourselves to supplement the knowledge we gained from Antra by asking questions to senior developers we know, or could find in Linkedin, in order to increase our chance to get assigned into a project. Polish interview skills (technical and behavioral)

If you did work your best, expect to get assigned into a project 1-2 months longer than what they said, as the competition has been getting tougher everyday, especially in this difficult post-pandemic time. Getting assigned into an end client's project is never a guarantee though. Personally, terms of contract and the implementations in general have been fair and decent.

The company demonstrates average performance in the market, possibly encountering some challenges or facing certain competitive pressures. Its performance may be influenced by various factors, including declining market demand, the emergence of competitors, poor management, or ineffective strategic execution. In such an environment, the company may experience slowing growth, declining profits, and a relatively high employee turnover rate. Additionally, challenges such as insufficient resources, lack of innovation, and organizational culture may arise. However, despite these challenges, the company still has opportunities to revitalize its business by improving business strategies, enhancing organizational efficiency, and fostering innovation to achieve long-term growth and success.

Pros

The value system of the company is noteworthy. The company has managed to keep this alive over time and across its new hires. This is most visible in challenging times or when dealing with difficult situations. This is a company to build long-term careers or join early in your career to have an exposure to professional workplace practices.

Cons

The company can be slow to respond to market dynamics or to employee dynamics, but the response will be well thought-out.

Advice to Management

Engaging employees not just around their work but also around the shared principles. Be decisive about aligning company values with the kind of people who are in the company, and exclude those who don't align to company values in their actions and decisions.

I recently had the opportunity to work with Antra Company on a mid-sized IT project, and my experience was largely positive. Antra's team demonstrated a strong understanding of our business needs and translated them into effective technical solutions.

Expertise and Professionalism
The professionals at Antra are well-versed in the latest technologies and development practices. From the initial consultation to the final deployment, they maintained a high level of professionalism and provided insightful recommendations that significantly enhanced our project.



I got extended the offer in April, started training in May, and was in the market by July/August. The only real downside for me was between May and now (I have my first contract) is it was completely unpaid. This can be a downfall for a lot of people which is understandable. Other than that management does a great job supporting us and making sure we have everything we need to be successful contractors.

This is a consulting company so working conditions are entirely on the client you get assigned to. You only get paid when placed at a client and it takes at least 2 months to get trained and assigned. Training is unpaid and requires commitment. Relocation stipend is subpar.

The training can be really good if you are lucky enough to have a good trainer on your team. I really strengthened a lot of my technical skills during the training process, thanks to my training team. And I think the marketing team are quite productive and responsive, once you start your marketing process. It might take a while, if your evaluation result isn't great. Experience might differ batch to batch though.

I'll say this is one of the best places if you need to get a job as soon as possible. If you are already skilled it would be very fast to get into a project. And even if you are a beginner, the training courses would be effective enough to get you skilled fast. Sometimes managers can deal with questions and problems through one-on-one chats, to solve them quickly and accurately. 

Way much to time before you jump on a project, 2-3 months min. Training is up to 12 hours a day, which is exhausting and counterproductive.
