Edaptive Computing reviews

Micromanaged, Very High Turnover, I saw another post that started close to 50% turnover rate. I worked for Edaptive for 2 years, and from my experience it was higher than that. I can also tell you from my experience with the company, that is was not due to the employees bad attitude as to why they left. It is due to the disrespect from the CEO, She will talk to you like you are a child if you report directly to her. You owe her, because she hired you. They want accurate timesheet keeping, but if you work more than 40 hours in a week, they will tell you, you can't put that on your timesheet. They follow their own rules when it benefits them. If you are a young male looking to get your foot in the door, that is easy. If you are female, that is a different story. They have used female contractors, but in the 2 years I have been there they will not hire a female employee. No Security for being a government contractor, questionable software, it is all about the bottom dollar, don't expect them to spend a penny unless absolutely necessary. Well until the end of the year, when they go on a spending frenzy for tax purposes. Very immoral, noncompliant company I have ever worked for. Be warned.

Young employees are paid extremely low wages. Younger employees do not realize their value and tend to work at Edaptive far longer than they need to in order to be qualified for much higher wages. A principal developer might be paid on par with what they made at other companies, but that does not make them experts on compensation at Edaptive. I received a very large raise when I left. The people who are hired on as principles or team leads might have a different experience as they may have known their value going in. That does not mean that Edaptive doesn't pay less than market for most employees compared to what they would be paid at another defense contractor. I too have worked at many companies and have an opinion that is just as valuable as someone calling other posters stupid. I don't think checking into the market and finding better opportunity is dumb, and I would encourage all employees of any company to go out and check their value at other employers before assuming someone getting paid twice what you are receiving is telling you the truth about compensation at Edaptive or elsewhere. If there are only a few people with good wages out of 50-60, they are outliers. Compensation aside, the work life balance was poor here too. I have worked a couple of years since being at Edaptive and have barely worked overtime at all. I regularly worked extra hours at Edaptive. I was also asked to do odd jobs at Edaptive that had nothing to do with software development. This put people in awkward situations where they were building desks during their lunches for a slice of pizza or two. That is something people do because they feel that if they won't, it might affect raises or how they are treated. Are team leads or principles asked to do this "side" work?? Not from what I witnessed. Not everyone is treated the same. There are a handful of people who are treated decently and appear to be paid enough to keep them around. Most of the development work is not done by these people but by people who typically leave after a year or two because of low pay and working conditions. These people who leave do not deserve to be called stupid merely because they have discovered reality...
