Adaptive Biotechnologies reviews

Lack of a proactive vision for the company. Repeated layoffs, which were worsened by tone-deaf responses from senior leadership. One example is executives' praising each other for their vision and leadership during a company-wide call the same day as the largest layoff of the year. The company's greatest asset, its human capital, is squandered - whether underutilized entirely, overworked due to RIFs without concomitant reductions in projects/duties, or shortsightedly laid off. Layoffs and subsequent turnover (as those left behind flee for better opportunities) creates a culture of chaos and instability. When senior leaders receive negative feedback, it is either dismissed as unimportant or unacknowledged entirely. Take the overall Glassdoor review rating with a grain of salt, and review the reviews. Many of the recent positive reviews are obviously fake/bots/offshore.

There are a few bright spots in leadership but Adaptive suffers from an enormous amount of organizational cruft. The organizational structures make little to no sense, there are engineering leaders with no engineering experience and zero technical expertise, there's no accountability, especially in management. Over reliance on contractors that don't really get very much done.
