Pros

- Good benefit - Many opportunities to learn (free training courses, seminars, etc) - Private offices for all regular employees (SJ only) - Bonuses, shipping gifts if you are in a profitable product team

Cons

- More and more projects being moved overseas (meaning poor job security and more early morning and late night meetings) - Less or no career opportunities - Poor communication from upper management - Frequent changes in company/product direction

Pros

Great name to work for. Agile development technology Very professional engineering processes Lots of different technologies to be exposed to

Cons

Frequent layoffs, no warning, whole departments suddenly cut without regard to long term consequences Outsourcing to really amateurish teams in India Autocratic rule by SVP without paying any regard to dliligent research and recommendations of reports. SVP crushes dissent brutally, very political choices during layoffs.

Pros

Still has monopoly on many products. ESPP plan still has 2 year look back. Good severance package when laid off.

Cons

Employees overworked. Bad work/life balance. Short sighted management. No clear company direction for future other than outsourcing jobs to India. Salaries are below 50th percentile. Adobe is now like any other company out there.
