Three cool things:
- As an employee-owned firm, Adams Street has an equity purchase program so that staff can invest in the company and benefit from profit sharing.
- A reverse mentorship program pairs staffers from older generations with employees from younger generations so they can build relationships and exchange perspectives on various issues and topics.
- Summer Fridays stretch year-round at Adams Street Partners: Each Friday, Adams Street closes its offices at 3 p.m.
Employees say:
- “Adams Street has the best culture of any workplace I’ve ever been a part of. The organization is relatively flat, so it is easy to communicate with senior leadership. We have lunch all together once a week, and it’s common for senior leaders to sit next to analysts and associates.”
- “The people: They are warm, engaging, driven, smart, intellectually curious and collaborative.”
- “Our organization is family-centric, and it is felt at all levels. We feel supported each and every day in the environment created.”
