Business Outlook

Pros

Typically 4 weeks vacation depending on your manager. Salary was competitive once worth was established but not right away. A lot of family events that my kids loved

Cons

Extremely boring as well as working with sales leaders who want it done their way instead of scale friendly processes

Business Outlook

Pros

It is a place where you can build a long-term career, and work on amazing technologies. The people are great here; engaged, friendly, and professional. Work life balance is excellent

Cons

Things move slower here than at most other companies. Adobe tried to move faster, but has only made modest gains there. Career growth (title) generally takes longer than at other companies, though compensation is really good throughout the process.
