Avoid like the plague - Software Engineer Adaptiva Employee Review

The company fosters a friendly work environment that allows for individual success dependent on your own motivations. - Smaller company: You have the ability to make a large impact and take initiative on assigned tasks. - Provides opportunities to grow and learn. - No specified or stringent "on-call". - Provides catered meals. - Free parking and quiet office space.

Development organization and goals can be loosely defined, providing ambiguous and shifting targets. - Lack of cross-discipline learning: At times makes the decision-making process more difficult as background knowledge can be missing - Small company: You will take responsibility for a broader scope of work and responsibilities or take ownership of work beyond your intended focus.

Adaptiva is a small company, so there's a lot of opportunity to be heard, make an impact, and gain experience that isn't available at bigger firms. The people are amazing across the company, and the overall vibes are great in the engineering department. Free, catered lunches every day is also pretty awesome.

The company started as three people in a garage, and sometimes you can still feel it. Shifting directions and priorities can make it difficult to understand your own goals and performance. Five-day RTO is also pretty rough.
