Edaptive Computing reviews

While reading these reviews on the website dating back all the way from 2014, I see a huge and drastic change in the company growth and atmosphere. Although, I admit I had not been working at Edaptive Inc., during those years, working there now I could not see that same company in the description on the website. Reading the reviews at first, I wasn't sure if I was going to write a review but I wanted to share my personal experience. Working in two other large companies, the work at Edaptive has been some of the most intriguing work I have experienced so far. With fifteen years of experience the benefits, the company building activities such as the seasonal parties, birthday celebrations and educational trainings have by far surpassed the other experiences I have had at other companies. It is clear the owners care about the positive work environment and care about as much as the total outcome of the projects we work on. There are always weekly meetings with the CTO over projects and their is an open-door policy for any management employee making the atmosphere very comfortable. I had noticed the talk about the small working spaces but in the other companies I worked in, who had many more employees, the space offered at Edaptive is just as measurable or a bit larger than those companies. As the company changes from a small business to a large- small business the wonderful leadership of the owners as well as the PMs has not changed and has made the work experience as great as it could be. Even walking in as an prospective employee, I was treated with such respect and I felt very important. I hope those who read these reviews do not base their likability of the company based on a review from 2014, because that was a large time ago.

I have been working for over 40 years, so I am much older than the majority of employees at Edaptive. I heard about Glassdoor.com and how employees can provide reviews about their company so I decide to see what people were saying. What I found was very interesting and I would like to make a couple observations. 1. Many of these negative comments are made by employees after they moved on from Edaptive. I read the recent comments and feel confident attributing them to an employee that was released on that same day. I strongly disagree with both of these comments. These are the emotional ramblings of a disgruntle employee that, personally, I am glad to see leave. 2. Edaptive is a growing software company that is looking to fill numerous software developer positions. Many of our positions are filled with younger developers and job hopping is the “new normal” for Millennials. While the turnover rate is not nearly as high as claimed in some of these reviews, I can tell you that many people leave as a direct result of their performance and/or negative attitudes. I don’t care where you work, neither of those attributes will ensure longevity. Now let me make a recommendation. Take these reviews with a grain of salt. Don’t pass up what may be an outstanding opportunity to learn and work because some former employees decide to post garbage in a manner that prevents them from being held accountable for what they say. Investigate the company and ask questions about what you have read during the interview process. Make sure your decision to work for this, or any, company is based on your firsthand knowledge and not what you read on line. What may not seem like a good job to some people may be the ideal job for you. PROs: This company has been on a steady growth path for the last 10 years. The pay is commensurate with your education and experience. Their benefits are comparable to other companies (e.g., health, dental, and vision insurance, 3 weeks’ vacation/PTO, Simplified IRA, etc.) and I can tell you that they are very generous with yearly bonuses (up to one month’s pay for top performers). I’ve never seen a company that randomly hands out gift cards to their employees. The owners promote education and certification and will generally pay for testing fees and will soon provide a tuition reimbursement program. The work is diverse and is some of the most interesting work that I have been exposed too. When your project is completed you are not laid off, you will be moved onto another project. In 18 years Edaptive has never had to lay off employees due to a lack of work. The owners of this company do care about their employees as much as they care about the company itself. They could not have such a successful company if they treated their employees as described in some of these reviews.
