Pros
Edaptive is a very process-centric organization. Likely due to the desire to be compliant with CMMI5. This can be a good thing at times as it can help ensure that Agile is being followed and minimize accumulation of technical debt but can also be a con (See below). Employees are amazing people to work with and the company has a very friendly and cooperative atmosphere. It is small enough of a business that an individual can have a sense of importance and purpose and not simply feel like a cog in a machine. There is good work flexibility with flexing time, an alternate 9/80 schedule, and PTO and Vacation. You will frequently shift projects which promotes learning new things and keeps the job from becoming routine.
Cons
The adherence to strict processes can be strangling at times. Time has to be spent fixing pedantic issues for compliance. The DoD contracts that ECI does can lead to some frustrations like strict timekeeping requirements, outdated software that needs to be used, and other stipulations that they require. The pay is a bit low compared to other options and raises are a bit slow. They generally only happen once a year and are fairly minimal. Additional roles and responsibilities are frequently given but additional compensation is not. May work better as a starting point for new developers to build their skills for a few years than a job to keep forever unless this changes.
