      Hard to get in, well worth worth it if you can

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Although some managers expect more then others, in general the management is very reasonable. Most teams work 9-5 or 10-6 if you prefer. Some teams are over-worked, due to some critical projects, they get reasonably rewarded for it. If you laid off, you will be granted at least a couple of months worth of pay or more, if you worked there longer. You really have to screw up in order to get fired. if you keep slacking off, eventually, they will fire you, but they will give you a chance to improve. People are respectful and intelligent.

      Cons

      There are really not many cons, the interview is challenging, there are some politics. Some projects are less exciting than others, and some unnecessary bureaucracy.

      Great place to start a high tech career

      Pros

      It's great to work at a successful company, and Adobe has mastered the business it dominates in, namely creative professional software. You learn the ropes of the business from veterans, and you benefit from a playbook that's been working well for 20+ years. Strong culture of developing employees and a tightknit almost family atmosphere because of how long people have worked there.

      Cons

      As others have noted, because of the low turnover and strength of the employees, moving forward in your career can take a long, long time. I know one person I started with who got one bump up in level in eight years. They maintain a ratio for directors and above relative to individual contributors. Often easier to get a director title if you are recruited from outside the company.
