Pros

Great vision. Amazing CEO and Executive Leadership Team. Nicely poised to take on the "cool boys" club of new-age softwares. Solid runway for growth. Opportunities are available in abundance

Cons

Operational workforce strategy is lagging behind the stupendously executed business re-org, The legacy world continues to thrive and co-exist with the disruptive technology it's delivering. Not yet ready to be truly global except in the Engineering space. Beneath the layer of warmth and wrapped around by excellent benefits and handsome pay, there lie pockets of discriminatory guardians who are not ready to embrace change, especially while working with India office. Serious change management and leadership focus is required to ensure faster amalgamation, as the tension is mounting amongst the people with hitherto positive mindset.

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.
