Pros

Excellent benefits including vacation time. Great creative team. Company meetings are exciting and beautifully orchestrated. Great brand with strong image and high customer loyalty. Products are top notch with rich features. Have sales force software to help track and Manage customer relationships which allows salespeople who are new to get up to speed fast.

Cons

You are expected to be accessible 7*24 weekends included. Software prices rise every year causing some customer angst. Sales reporting is endless with new documents to be created frequently plus the 'fire drill' reports that come up monthly. No repeatability with the reporting so become highly fragmented. Very good with layoff amounts but the people targeted are often some of the best staff. Cannot always use the sabbatical in sales division - need Managers approval and not always granted for full term.

Pros

* Refreshing focus on employee wellness * Brilliant colleagues * Compelling problems on interesting tools * Good work/life balance culture... generally (see cons) I've been at a few big tech companies and Adobe is one of my favorites. I feel empowered to make impactful changes here, I'm constantly stretching myself in fun ways, and the products we make are incredible. Product and engineering have big dreams, and all the resources we need to realize them.

Cons

* Big time crunch culture around arbitrary goals By far my biggest disappointment has been just how hard product pushes on big projects with arbitrary deadlines and difficult scope. It turns into cutting corners and delivering sub-par experiences even though we absolutely have the talent and capability to make some exceptional things if we just let the dang thing bake a few more months. I'd be more impressed with the tight clip if the goals were reasonable for good business reasons, but as far as I can tell the reason usually boils down to "some high-level manager wanted X and thought Y sounded like a good target date". * Comp growth leaves something to be desired. Raises feel pretty flat, though it's not the worst thing since stock rewards can be pretty good as appropriate for performance. Career progression is pretty good here too - I just find it odd how stale the base pay increases are year to year.
