Pros

- Was a really good company to work for in Sales - Amazing products, good work culture, open dynamic and no politics -Cared about its employees. -HR used to be strong now just a rubber stamp especially in India.

Cons

-Horrible now specially in sales in India. - Its a systemic cleansing of the entire team replaced by new jokers without any clue of business or human emotions - In India Sales you have to be a boot licker to progress,. You are targeted just because you have been in the system for long - If you are old then you don't know how to work is the general thinking - HR is a mute spectator and HR guys are invited to sales parties and gifted expensive wines - This all even when most of the big deals are driven and closed by the older sales managers. - Its sad what has happened in Adobe India in Sales and they will never be the same company that they were.

Pros

Best work/llife balance of the 5 large companies I have worked for, Adobe really cares for their employees. Free access to Adobe software. Lots of different offices to work from around the world. Prestigious products to work on. Future focused.

Cons

It's a corporate environment, so things can move pretty slow as you involve all the right people.

Pros

* Refreshing focus on employee wellness * Brilliant colleagues * Compelling problems on interesting tools * Good work/life balance culture... generally (see cons) I've been at a few big tech companies and Adobe is one of my favorites. I feel empowered to make impactful changes here, I'm constantly stretching myself in fun ways, and the products we make are incredible. Product and engineering have big dreams, and all the resources we need to realize them.

Cons

* Big time crunch culture around arbitrary goals By far my biggest disappointment has been just how hard product pushes on big projects with arbitrary deadlines and difficult scope. It turns into cutting corners and delivering sub-par experiences even though we absolutely have the talent and capability to make some exceptional things if we just let the dang thing bake a few more months. I'd be more impressed with the tight clip if the goals were reasonable for good business reasons, but as far as I can tell the reason usually boils down to "some high-level manager wanted X and thought Y sounded like a good target date". * Comp growth leaves something to be desired. Raises feel pretty flat, though it's not the worst thing since stock rewards can be pretty good as appropriate for performance. Career progression is pretty good here too - I just find it odd how stale the base pay increases are year to year.
