Business Outlook

Pros

Great scientific community with a lot of intelligent, passionate individuals about helping push scientific innovation forward. Flexible working hours

Cons

Your success at Adaptive is really driven by how invested your manager is. Common to many start-ups that later go public, there will always be people who are promoted to managers just because they have been there for a long time, not necessarily because they are skilled at managing people.
