DO NOT WORK AT ADAPTIVE!

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

I can't think of any

Cons

Overworked, underpaid, unappreciated and massively stressful. Company bringing in new people at the top (read, boys club) that are making vast unpopular changes. A lot of people have left recently and it's no coincidence. Yet problematic employees are allowed to stay and have to be tolerated. Database and information systems are a MESS.
