      Pros

      Good compensation, attention to growth opportunity, progressive time off/WFH policies, great benefits package, good strategic direction for slow but steady growth in the industry.

      Cons

      Wide variation in strength and quality of management. Changes in employee review process put all of the responsibility on the manager, and not all are up to the task. Sales culture is cut-throat. Espoused company values can be rhetorical only and day-to-day is entirely dependent on strength of immediate leadership. As is found elsewhere in technology, and despite leadership rhetoric about elevating women's roles and influence, sexist behaviors persist.

      Pros

      Have been here for more than 10 years. Overall well balanced company. Work life balance is good is most teams

      Cons

      Bonuses used to be better before. They are okay now. Layoff every year for the past 3-4 years Too many re-org. Forget promotions due to re-orgs, as every year you might be moved to a different team, and no manager would promote you till you work for them for more than an year, and you cannot work for more than an year, since the team would get affected by a re-org. Its happened with me three years in a row. Some teams are super aggressive, so if you want a good work life balance, make sure you get into the right team.

      Pros

      Great work life balance! Happy hour once a month helps with team bonding. Besides happy hour, Adobe also community service events in which you can sign up with your team. What I love about Adobe is actually the 2 shutdown periods where Adobe closes down for a week during July 4th and Christmas.

      Cons

      Adobe has an open policy about PTO for salary employees. Basically, if you need time off, you just speak with your manager. However, because there is no PTO accrual basis, most people on my team take only 1 week off at a time. Meaning, if you wanted to travel somewhere far and take 2 weeks, that can be a stretch and may present difficulty in getting approval from management.
