Pros

Adafruit offers benefits and steady work. They work hard not to be evil, and it does feel good to work for a company with good values.

Cons

Adafruit is a small company, which makes it difficult for them to fulfill the promises they want to make to their employees. They want to offer everyone career growth, but there's no where to go. Pay has stagnated at a rate that was livable when the company started. I understand that things are tight for management, but it becomes harder to handle every year

Pros

Benefits right when you get hired. It's an easy job and its a relaxed environment. They did good for the employees during the pandemic. They have very generous PTO.

Cons

TOO Relaxed of an environment. There is very little accountability to the actions of employees. You could disappear for an hour and nobody would question you. The attitude and morale also stinks. There are obviously people there who WANT to work and its just so sad to see people waste their talent in this job vacuum. PEOPLE WITH GOOD IDEAS FOR COMPANY CHANGE BEWARE: They will only promote people who will keep quiet and maintain the status quo. AND if they DO plan on changing something, it either takes a year or it never happens. Also, they only do hires by referral and that leads to some rampant nepotism. The CEO is a nice person and does some great things for the maker community, but she is more of an engineer than a CEO.
