Ventajas
I Joined Edaptive Computing Inc. after an exhausting 9-month job hunt fresh out of college with a Masters in Computer Science. At the time I saw the company's ratings weren't great, but was eager to give it a try regardless. Nowadays I'm disappointed in myself for judging a book by its cover. Edaptive has been very satisfying to work with, and I have every intention of staying here for as long as it's viable to do so. -Both developers and management are highly respectful and professional to each other. I've read reviews denouncing workplace politics, but I haven't noticed any trace of this after 2 years of working here. -Relatively low-pressure compared to other software development jobs. You're not lacking for work in any sense, but you can put in your 40 hours and call it a week and management is satisfied. If you're up for a few extra hours, it will reflect favorably on you around the time annual reviews and bonuses come around. -Very friendly to new hires in a mentoring capacity, and takes their input into consideration. Doesn't just expect new interns/hires to figure things out for themselves in the corner, but is not overly micro-managing either. -Opportunities/criteria for advancement are made clear to everyone and are taken into account when you are evaluated. -HIGHLY process driven. This can be a double-edged sword that I'll touch on in the cons, but following them tends to greatly reduce technical debt in the long-run (which is unpleasant to deal with later) and results in very few cases where you're completely lost on what to write, either code or documentation-wise. -Company feels small enough to where a single person can make a large difference. -Several decent food places nearby for lunch (shoutout to Raising Cane's esp)
Desventajas
-Processes can feel overly bureaucratic at times. Development feels like it can get bogged down with the amount of time it can take to comply with all the processes, though as mentioned in the pros, this may save time in the long run. -The projects I've worked on so far have had government customers, who mandates the use of technologies several years behind the curve. While I can take time outside work to keep my skills current, it would be nice to be able to do this as part of my work. -Meeting rooms are sometimes double or triple-booked, this may be an issue with Microsoft Outlook and may not be true by the time you read this review.
