Pros

A couple of years old but still functioning exactly like a startup. Business is booming, company is scaling up to keep pace with industry growth in an interesting space and definitely a market leader in its segment / category. Lots of responsibilities from day one, plenty of freedom and autonomy and lots of exposure to a variety of different projects and technologies. All engineers are encouraged to work with the product and testing teams during the development lifecycle to constantly improve product offerings, giving a deep sense of ownership. Always forward looking, forward thinking outlook with rapid turnaround times and 'fail early, fail often, fail fast' continuous development approach. Very open culture with amazingly smart people all around always willing to lend a hand or provide guidance, friendly and helpful atmosphere. The management and leadership has a very strong background and experience so one can constantly learn from them. Adap.tv treats all employees just like family, many fun interactions and events with the entire team, for example we usually try and do barbecues for the entire office as often as possible. Free catered lunch everyday, better-than-usual benefits, flexible timings and no constraints on working from home or anywhere outside the office either, are just some of the many other perks!

Cons

Larger-than-average and sometimes fragmented technology stack, somewhat complicated business logic and core products can take some time to learn and get used to. Fast pace of development means the workload also ramps up very quickly. But at the same time, great feeling of achievement and sense of accomplishment when you're done!

Pros

Everyone makes a difference. Quality is valued. People are valued and respected. Disagreement is valued. Mistakes are okay if not repeated. Hard questions cheerfully accepted at meetings.

Cons

Lack of internal documentation. Lack of clean product modularization. (Acknowledged) paucity of automated tests. Sub-optimal coordination between teams on different continents

Pros

Recently I took a look and read some of the reviews. I was pretty shocked by a lot of the comments made. I have worked with Adap.tv for almost 2 years now, and I must say my experience has been overall very positive. It’s a fun and friendly work environment with a start-up feel. Great office space- catered daily lunches, endless snacks and refreshments. Work hours are flexible, as long as you get your work done. The people here are very smart, it’s a great learning environment. There are lots of happy hours, wine tasting after work events that allow you to meet people in the company that you may not likely speak with on a day to day basis. I like being able to know everyone in the office. They also offer yoga once a week. They really try to show employee appreciation with perks here and there.

Cons

I have seen the morale change after the acquisition took place. People have come and gone, but we have primarily stayed the same. Some job functions have changed, but that happens with all companies. I never felt horribly affected by the acquisition, and now with the time that has passed most people have adjusted. In my opinion the cool "Adap.tv feel" of the company is still largely intact, and the execs really work at keeping the culture and drive of Adap.tv alive and well.
