      Solid products, good culture, need to increase sales pay

      Pros

      A very solid company culture. I feel like my contributions are valued. There is room to grow my career. More time off than I can possibly use in a year. The best place I have ever worked

      Cons

      Over the last few years Adobe has really fallen behind in what they pay sales people. It is pretty shameful actually, and has lead to a huge exodus this year. Hope they can see the problem and get it corrected soon.

      Fantastic people, products, and opportunities.

      Pros

      The people are are fantastic. The brightest, most collaborative, and friendly coworkers that I have ever had. The products are interesting, deep, and far reaching. First level managers are often seasoned veterans in the jobs that came from the role that they manage and generally handle the individual contributor to manager transition well. Flexible schedules. This is not a 9-5 job.

      Cons

      This is not mandatory or enforced, but the con to the "not a 9-5 job" is that occasionally it's a "9-midnight job". The near upper management can fluctuate suddenly with corresponding course changes. Although these have been absent for the last few years, the sting of the annual layoffs (including that of very good people) is still fading.

      Good pay and corporate culture.

      Pros

      Adobe is in the middle of a massive shift from desktop to cloud products and services, so there is a lot of opportunity to work on innovative projects. Very reasonable time off program, with short sabbaticals earned every 5 years. Interesting products and customers. Opportunity to make an impact. A lot of smart & friendly people work at Adobe and there isn't an overly competitive internal culture. Good salary and benefits and no career penalty for keeping a true work/life balance. (This might depend on your manager.)

      Cons

      Lack of cloud experience slows progress and leads to mistakes and service failures. Adobe doesn't currently have a CTO and the previous CTO was more concerned about pushing the dying flash platform. As a result, Adobe doesn't have a strong technical leader to manage it's primary mission to change from desktop to cloud. Marketing is stuck in old school product cycle thinking.
