CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Best work/llife balance of the 5 large companies I have worked for, Adobe really cares for their employees. Free access to Adobe software. Lots of different offices to work from around the world. Prestigious products to work on. Future focused.

Cons

It's a corporate environment, so things can move pretty slow as you involve all the right people.

Opportunities for growth amid leadership confusion

Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Many opportunities for personal development, both engineering and behavioral.

Cons

No rigorous software development process. Many leadership direction drifts, no concrete asks, many uncertainties in terms of short-mid objectives. You can work for a week at something which gets discarded out of nowhere. You can work on elaborating a plan for an initiative which is simply declined by upper management because it didn't aligned with their expectations, expectations WHICH WERE NOT CLEARLY STATED ANYWHERE.
