Pros

Excellent cuting-edge Technology Areas. Good peer group to interact with. Adobe has some of the best engineers & computer scientists. There is a genuine pride in creating world-class , innovative, famous products. Good culture of innovation Good facilities at work. You get your own room to work in. Product Feedback from customers is listened to, and used to improve products

Cons

Too much politics, favoritism. Most of the india-based staff is demoralised due to this. A certain degree of nepotism. For example majority of staff in India are "Guptas", same as India Centre Head. The India Centre chief Financial controller & Facility-manager are brother-in-laws of Centre-head. There is a constant push to lower the hiring criteria and include their relatives. Everyone is not compared on same set of standards.

Pros

Good compensation package for employees. Good corporate citizen.

Cons

Very political / careerist focused (vs. customer focused). Employee moral at the individual contributor level very poor within and across several business units due to talent loss rate (both natural attrition and off-shoring).
