Pros

Good compensation and great benefits

Cons

Worst IT department I've ever worked in and I worked in many... Ironically there are lots of great, very skilled and smart pros on the bottom level who are doing the great job but quality of upper managment in general is drastically low considering it's a SV company. Using their department as a sandbox to play with different org models killing the spirit and demotivates people who could make a difference and pull their business processes and customer support out of this stoneage shithole it stays at the moment

Pros

Great benefits and bonus to top 10% and mgmt. perks If you are a recent acquired company or deemed crucial for future, its awesome

Cons

Yearly offshore of jobs, especially in BU that are cash cows. Execs dont invest or take chances other than acquisition. Hackfest ideas are almost never followed through. Management isn't incentivated to take risks or innovate.

Pros

Although a relatively large company, Adobe has always thought of itself as a BIG company. This does have its advantages: - Competitive salaries, great benefits, stock - Support of charitable giving and activities - Resources, opportunities

Cons

However, operating as a "BIG" company also has its drawbacks: - Bureaucratic - Slow-moving - Tentative - Rewards longevity rather than innovation - Annual Christmas purge (layoffs)
