- Current Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
- Truly flexible hours - Amazing benefits - Autonomy and trust from the outset - Positive culture with minimal stress - Lots of opportunities to try new things without a culture of blame

Pros
Like so many, I've had to adapt to full-time remote working over the past couple of years. Adaptavist do a lot to make that as pain-free as possible. I've worked for some other companies in the last couple of years that have made zero effort to assist a workforce trying to find its feet with remote working. Adaptavist encourage teams to get together online and do things that aren't work. They trust you to manage your own workload and don't expect you to be at their beck and call 24 hours a day just because you work from home. They have a lot of long-standing employees who really know their stuff and are always willing to take the time out to answer a question from someone trying to get to grips with their products.
Cons
I've not yet had any negative experiences during my time with Adaptavist.
- Current Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
* They trust you * You have a community of Product Managers you can exchange ideas with * Various products in different stages of their life cycle that you can manage and learn new skills * I can work from home, or go to the office. Whatever is best for me and my team
Cons
We are still in the process of becoming a data-driven company, so you will not be in contact with cutting edge technologies or ways of working related to data. Like experimentation :(
- Current Employee, more than 8 years★★★★★
Pros
Having come from a different industry, the first thing I noticed was small freedoms, such as being trusted to use github appropriately, and then larger freedoms, such as being allowed to suggest and deliver product enhancements. There isn't the siloed setup where you have to stay in your lane. Your thoughts and opinions are welcomed across the business. Likewise, whilst there isn't a chaotic free-for-all, you are empowered to suggest and champion technologies that you want to use. Everyone from the CEO downwards will have time for a cup of tea or a zoom call. There is an acceptance of you for who you are - they take the rough with the smooth. Consequently they have some of the most varied, in background, ways of thinking etc, set of employees that I have come across. If you are capable but want to try a different role, they will go out of their way to make this happen for you. The underlying impression is one of trust and faith in individuals. I have worked at companies that attempt to monitor you continuously through "presence detection" etc, such a thing would be a ludicrous idea at Adaptavist.
Cons
Currently without a permanent office in some locations but not for lack of trying. As others have said cons are usually temporary and caused by the growth in workforce.

Pros
I go to work with a smile! I truly enjoy how the company is set up, how much importance is put on individualism, personal development and work-life balance. Colleagues that are really there for you and will help you with lots of patience. As a Junior, support I got here is unbelievable. I've learn so much and I had so much fun doing it. You have their trust from the first day and the whole company is set up in a way that common sense prevails. Dream job.
Cons
Currently none. I would say salary, but I also understand I'm a junior with a first time job in this field, and what's not compensated by salary is compensated in the way I'm being taught and many other benefits.
- Current Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
- Everyone from senior management to new starters are on a level playing field and respected; in my first senior management meeting I was able to chat and joke whilst still getting down to brass tacks. - You're treated as an adult, and trusted. No strict in-office requirement, no strict holiday process, total flexibility and a 'as long as your work is done, do it how you like' mantra throughout. - Good tools and processes; booking leave is easy, HR systems are clean and effective, good intranet, open communication to all levels and total transparency and respect. - Everyone respects your way of working. If you want to do 9-to-5 in an office, you can; if you want to knock out 35 hours at the start of your week, you can; if you need to hop away to pick up your kids, go to an appointment or go help a family member or something, you can. Just get the work done and that's all they ask. - Wonderful culture of trust, equality, cultural celebration and togetherness without forcing the tired old "everyone's a family!" or "work hard, play hard!" cliches other businesses adopt. Here it's just in the DNA and not shoved in your face. - Not forced into management roles through career progression. If you're in a technical role, you can go to the same pay grade as a senior manager without having ever managed a single person. Work with Adaptavist and they work with you. - No BS.
Cons
None that I can think of.

Pros
Honestly, one of the best workplaces. People are great. Unlimited holidays.
Cons
Salary is average; processes are not stable yet.
- Current Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
Unlimited holiday, Trust, Flexible working
Cons
People put in positions of power with limited experience (who you know not what you know). Some employees just ‘vanish’ without any announcements which is off putting.
- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
Adaptavist is a great company to work for, with a robust, inclusive and supportive culture.
Cons
There are some growing pains, but nothing I have not seen in other companies at the same stage.
