Pros

Adaptive is full of talented developers, product owners and project managers, many with deep technical and domain expertise. If you are looking for somewhere to learn the technical side of trading systems, or you're already an expert and want to work on interesting projects, this is the place to be. On the administrative side, everyone there is open, approachable and professional. The team have a lot of fun with regular social events and activities. I would particularly recommend the firm for a first job in finance / software. You'll be learning from the best in a very supportive environment and the sky's the limit!

Cons

The normal caveats about consulting apply and ultimately client demands can be frustrating. But the firm is well positioned to maintain a pipeline of interesting, rewarding projects.

Best place I've ever worked

Pros

Very mature employee base, strong communication between teams, and a non-hierarchical structure that allows us to see each other as equals. There is no incentive for competition so we're able to relax without the pressure of comparing our work with others. The "boss" archetype doesn't exist here. Leads and senior employees are approachable making knowledge sharing possible. :) Compensation is great, hybrid model is ultra flexible, and the hiring process is smooth. I'm encouraged to be myself and feel genuinely valued by my team and colleagues.

Cons

None that have stood out to me so far!

Pros

I've been working at Adaptive for four years, approaching five, and it has been nothing short of a great journey so far. The company fosters a truly great culture that extends far beyond the standard metrics or 'tick-boxes' you see in other corporate environments. Leadership genuinely cares, which is demonstrated by the many ways they consistently go above and beyond for their employees. Furthermore, there is a strong culture of transparency, which is incredibly important to me, making it easy to align with the company’s mission and believe in the bigger picture. Throughout my time here, I have received significant support to further my career. While some of that is certainly earned through showing up, I believe the mentors at Adaptive truly look beyond a CV. They take the time to understand each person and help them pursue the roles and paths best suited for them. I am especially impressed that the Early Careers Programme, which was previously a graduate scheme, was renamed to actively encourage self-taught young professionals to apply. It’s these thoughtful considerations that prove this is a company that genuinely values good people. Finally, Matt and Loic, the founders of Adaptive, always make time to speak with and get to know everyone. They lead a global company, yet they still prioritize traveling to all the offices throughout the year, attending events, or simply having coffee or lunch with team members. As the company continues to grow, it maintains the warmth of a smaller organization, which is a testament to their leadership.

Cons

I haven't experienced any cons :)

Pros

Competitive: decent salary, generous referral policy, restaurant card and other benefits. Flexible WFH policy. They have a big comfortable office and good equipment (v. nice laptop, 2 extra monitors, decent desk + chair), regular breakfasts in the office & well-stocked fridge! Company takes employee wellbeing and mental health very seriously. Regular internal show-and-tells around the technology in use. Good mix of people across the teams, very friendly and welcoming. Clear and honest communication from upper management about company activities.

Cons

not much to add here, it's a great place to work

Hi, the positives of your review really did make me smile. It's great that you are happy with many aspects of working at Adaptive. We strive so hard to provide a flexible work-life that has a friendly and helpful environment, so it's really great to hear you mention that. Regarding the con you mention, whilst we are, like most companies, affected by global economic trends, we always aim to treat our colleagues with the utmost respect and offer as much support as possible to help them find new roles. Thanks- Marie

Still a great place to work

Pros

Supportive management, opportunities for career enhancement, super clever team members, wonderful early careers training programme, great team morale / relationship building initiatives including an annual D&I festival amongst others. The exec team do actually care, and are actually approachable. Awesome offices.

Cons

It's a consultancy so you always have to deal with clients, which can be wearing at times but it does mean you get to work on different things throughout your time.

A great way for me to start my day, reading such kind words and so glad that you feel the love from the exec team. Thank you for mentioning the D&I festival, too. We’ve just had our third one, and I am personally so grateful to the D&I team for giving us the opportunity to learn from others' experiences. We genuinely do appreciate the time you took to provide this feedback. Thanks- Marie
