Business Outlook

Pros

Salary is not insufficient; it is a well-known company; for now, you can use Adobe software for free. However, it's better not to use it for personal and private usage.

Cons

Everything will be in your manager's hands, so depending on your manager, your life can be good or hell. It's a big company and you're just another number and they will make you fill a form answering that they are the best or else you will be in HR black list. They will constantly put you on a PIP (performance improvement plan); if you don't archive, you will feel they put you on a kick-out list. HR is non-existent, and everything negative you say about anything will be the company's problem.
