Pros: Lots of opportunity to learn, particularly with the acquisition by Workday.

Cons: An over-emphasis on the role of the sales team, with a five-day trip to the Caribbean for top salesmen every year, while the people that actually build the product that salesmen sell are asked to settle for free lunch on Mondays and Fridays. Unfortunately, the acquisition by Workday has slowed strategic decision-making to a crawl. So, great swaths of the Adaptive team are in holding patterns, wasting a lot of eager talent. Unless you are a salesman, it doesn't feel like anyone cares about your career success. The hiring process takes forever and ever, and it looks like Workday's processes will slow it down even more.

Pros: Good people. Sense of belonging.

Cons: Stack tech is proprietary, and you'll feel lost and useless in the beginning.

Pros: Good, friendly culture. It doesn't seem like a boring IT job. There are a lot of games to play for a fun time. It's good IT.

Cons: Loaded with work all the time, expect to work over your capacity.
