      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.

      Pros

      The internationality of the company is a big plus. Work is organized and driven with a professional approach, at the best of times with a strong focus on best-of-bread software engineering. The Hamburg office is housed in a beautiful building and the work space is a pleasure to work in.

      Cons

      Personal growth is hindered by nepotism. The company suffers by lack of direction and vision which is reflected by poor middle management.
