Pros

Good people to work with. Used to provide great benefit but I am not sure now. This company invented the greatest software Illustrator and Photoshop. So many great developers and smart people. Nice work environment in SF and SJ.

Cons

Too many jobs are sent to India and China, and layoffs in US. The company straggles to invent the next big thing.

Bad Managers, lot of cost cutting going on currently as a result facilities are poor. India's Upper management treats the employees as slaves and think they are masters Very arrogant and nonsensical upper management of India Salary is not on par with the amount of work expected Too much workload. Treats employees as resource and has no good retention policy People in management frame their own rules and remember managers are all powerful and whoever licks his a** can become high performer.
