Working at Adaptive Computing in Provo, UT: 4 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Provo, UT Area

"I found the engineering department to be a positive, fast-paced agile environment where innovation is encouraged with a high level of good camaraderie and respect among team members. There is somewhat of a disconnect between engineering and upper management. Career paths are not well defined. Very difficult to move up. You get a feeling of being stuck and never able to move forward in your career."
