Pros

Salary is not insufficient; it is a well-known company; for now, you can use Adobe software for free. However, it's better not to use it for personal and private usage.

Cons

Everything will be in your manager's hands, so depending on your manager, your life can be good or hell. It's a big company and you're just another number and they will make you fill a form answering that they are the best or else you will be in HR black list. They will constantly put you on a PIP (performance improvement plan); if you don't archive, you will feel they put you on a kick-out list. HR is non-existent, and everything negative you say about anything will be the company's problem.

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.
