Adaptive Biotechnologies reviews

The biggest issue with Adaptive was management. There was such a drive to adhere to a pyramid structure of power, despite often clear evidence that that system was flawed. There was a significant lack of communication between and from management regarding responsibilities, upcoming tasks, and workflow. One member of management was kept on despite the fact that it was well known she didn’t do any work, and that members of her team and her colleagues were plugging the gaping holes. When this was brought to HR by multiple staff members it was dismissed. Entry level staff are constantly reminded that they are replaceable, while also getting parties and acknowledgements from upper management saying that the company could not function without that role. Initially, the job ladder was non existent and when the person who created a job ladder into the company did so, she was met with incredible resistance from HR. The company is not interested in growing folks inside the company, and consistently pushes profit over product. Overall they need a major structural overhaul, and to really focus in on what has made the company successful and what hasn’t.

Salaries not competitive with other regional opportunities, questionable management, lack of appreciation of foundational members of team who helped get the company out there.
