Pros

I first started at ECI in 2006 not yet one week out of college, when the company was at about 12 employees. It was a rough start as a new grad, but also a nurturing environment in which a young developer can grow and thrive in their profession. After a solid five years with ECI, I left in 2012 (in good standing) to pursue graduate studies in Liberal Arts, and after six years of study and the completion of two Master's, I had a great desire to return to software development. In 2019, after a seven year hiatus, ECI welcomed me back with open arms as if I was family. Now with over 100 employees, ECI as grown drastically since my first tour of duty. As such, the overall software development process has matured considerably, adopting and adhering to both Agile and Scrum methodologies. Additionally, the overall atmosphere has become a comfortable, relaxed, and friendly environment with an "open-door" policy with supervisors, project managers, even the President and CEO. This "family-like" ethos contributes to an overall employee satisfaction which can be difficult to find in software development, especially with "big" companies. Overall, the atmosphere at ECI is relaxed, friendly, family-like, and stable. A perfect environment in which developers can learn and grow their career. I am happy to be a part of "Team ECI" both now and for years to come!

Cons

Salaries tend to be on the lower end, but as the market for software developers has become increasingly competitive, ECI has adapted to these changing trends and should continue to do so.

Advice for Potential Employees

Pros

I have been working for over 40 years, so I am much older than the majority of employees at Edaptive. I heard about Glassdoor.com and how employees can provide reviews about their company so I decide to see what people were saying. What I found was very interesting and I would like to make a couple observations. 1. Many of these negative comments are made by employees after they moved on from Edaptive. I read the recent comments and feel confident attributing them to an employee that was released on that same day. I strongly disagree with both of these comments. These are the emotional ramblings of a disgruntle employee that, personally, I am glad to see leave. 2. Edaptive is a growing software company that is looking to fill numerous software developer positions. Many of our positions are filled with younger developers and job hopping is the “new normal” for Millennials. While the turnover rate is not nearly as high as claimed in some of these reviews, I can tell you that many people leave as a direct result of their performance and/or negative attitudes. I don’t care where you work, neither of those attributes will ensure longevity. Now let me make a recommendation. Take these reviews with a grain of salt. Don’t pass up what may be an outstanding opportunity to learn and work because some former employees decide to post garbage in a manner that prevents them from being held accountable for what they say. Investigate the company and ask questions about what you have read during the interview process. Make sure your decision to work for this, or any, company is based on your firsthand knowledge and not what you read on line. What may not seem like a good job to some people may be the ideal job for you. PROs: This company has been on a steady growth path for the last 10 years. The pay is commensurate with your education and experience. Their benefits are comparable to other companies (e.g., health, dental, and vision insurance, 3 weeks’ vacation/PTO, Simplified IRA, etc.) and I can tell you that they are very generous with yearly bonuses (up to one month’s pay for top performers). I’ve never seen a company that randomly hands out gift cards to their employees. The owners promote education and certification and will generally pay for testing fees and will soon provide a tuition reimbursement program. The work is diverse and is some of the most interesting work that I have been exposed too. When your project is completed you are not laid off, you will be moved onto another project. In 18 years Edaptive has never had to lay off employees due to a lack of work. The owners of this company do care about their employees as much as they care about the company itself. They could not have such a successful company if they treated their employees as described in some of these reviews.

Cons

People will always find (or create) a negative issue with a company. I laugh when I read some of the CONs that are posted on this site. Most of the departing employees are junior level employees and have very little experience working in industry and make statements that are more emotional than factual. CONs are nothing but their perceptions.
