Pros

Great place really enjoyed it until new management

New management focuses on the wellbeing of the lab at the cost of employees. She works for the lab not for the employees doing the work.

Pros

Adaptive was where I really started practicing software engineering and I had a smart and hardworking mentor to learn from. After working with other product/program managers, I truly appreciate the ones I work with here at Adaptive. The skills and culture here had also helped me advance quickly in my current job. The colleagues I have met here are caring and had helped me from work to life. I still keep in contact with them after leaving. The CTO (at that time), was personable and actually knew who I was. HR team really helped me transition to and from Seattle and were beyond amiable. Overall, working at Adaptive was a very pleasant one and had helped me grow a lot.

Cons

Need a better or possibly a clearer career/promotion plan. Growth feedback was limiting.
