Pros
- Benefits (Yes, you really do get unlimited holidays) - People (Wonderful, wonderful people!) - Work / life balance (Seriously, it does not feel like work) - Variety (So. Many. Things. To. Be. Involved. In) Honestly, the list is endless.
Cons
None. Zero. Nada. (Obviously, it's a large (very) and still growing (a lot) business will have it's growing pains… but there's an amazing SLT driving this).

Pros
- Competitive salary and cost of living pay rises when necessary - Really good benefits package - Unlimited paid leave (yes, that is real) - Flexible and fully remote working. They are being honest about the 'trust from day one' thing! - Everyone at every level is generally friendly and helpful; there's a decent culture of hiring people who are just pleasant to work with—if you're rude or bad tempered, you won't get along here
Cons
- Some growing pains, but I think you'd struggle to find any rapidly expanding company who doesn't have those - The very flexible and laid back work environment can occasionally lead to things being a bit disorganised or lacking structure, but it's been minor in my experience

Pros
The CEO is amazing, and the Executives/Senior leaders are so talented. There's a strong focus on work-life balance, and trust from your first day. Perks like unlimited leave & flexible working are amazing, face-to-face get-togethers are prioritised even though you're in a remote role!
Cons
I have spent the last 19 months searching for a con and still haven't found one..

Pros
Strong culture that promotes well-being and work-life balance - genuinely a nice place to work with great teams of people. Fantastic London office space, but remote friendly set up to go in when it's actually needed.
Cons
More an opportunity rather than a con, but typical of a scale-up organisation, some growing pains in places where rapid growth has out-paced internal structure and process.
Adaptavist Response4wHi there, Thanks so much for leaving a positive review. It's fantastic to hear you value our company culture, London office, and remote working. Thanks again, The Adaptavist team

Pros
This company is very flexible and a wonderful place to work. Work-life balance is a must here, and it makes me feel so at ease, especially with three very young children.
Cons
Their restructuring process/redundancies aren't well thought out and often very messy!

Pros
Talented teams of supported colleagues all working towards shared goals. I've never worked at a company that truly lives its values and puts its people first like Adaptavist does.
Cons
If remote work isn't for you then Adaptavist may not be.

Pros
Fantastic culture Unlimited paid holiday Private dental Private medical Udemy business account Extremely supportive work from home environment
Cons
Not the strongest workflows and processes so you do need to be able to work initiatively. (not a con, just something to be aware of) Rapid company growth means lots of change

Pros
The flexibility, The people, The culture, Fully remote so you can minimise distractions, the feeling of being independent, great teamwork. Can take ownership of your role and make an impact. The business is really transparent with its employees which is great.
Cons
- With the company growing fast, there are often continual changes in structure. - A lot of context switching is required in certain areas of the business - An engineer-first mindset can sometimes create hurdles when developing products (but it's getting better)
