      Great benefits, but low pay and zero job security

      Pros

      The insurance plans are great and the premiums are low. They also have up to $10,000 education assistance per year and wellness reimbursement up to a few hundred bucks per year.

      Cons

      The pay is lower than average. Every year, there are layoffs. If you are not an executive, you will not retire from there. You will be laid off at some point. I saw people who were there for 20 years get laid off.

      Decreasing ability to make money in sales year over year.

      Pros

      Good products and good company culture. It was hard to get a job because everyone in Utah wanted to work here. That probably got worse once the new building was built.

      Cons

      Upper management had been making it harder to make money for the last couple of years since the Omniture acquisition before I left. That was strange because the Adobe Marketing Suite is going to have to grow really quickly to stay ahead of Google and IBM.

      Adobe is run by accountants

      Pros

      Good benefits. If you are junior could be a great place to get experience.

      Cons

      The engineering managers are all in it for themselves and while they may seem nice they don't give a rip about you. Financial incentives are focused towards the top few percent of the employees so good people go wanting and it all depending on your manager to fight for you. Many people have been there for 10 years + and it is very hard to break into the "in" crowd. Periodic layoffs. Seattle is an Adobe backwater so definitely do not take a job there as your neck will periodically be on the chopping block and jobs are shifted overseas.
