      Pros

      1. Good work. 2. Smart people to work with and you get to learn from them.

      Cons

      1. Very less opportunity to grow as leader/manager ( for developers and QE) 2. Bad facilities.. A lot of cost cutting is happening tissue papers on toilet , snacks, food 3. Every year last 5 percent is sacked...yes every year...I have been watching this from last 5+ years 4. If you are not in top 15% of company, you get 6-12 % hike ....if you are in top 15% you may get 20-20% + RSU + Shipping bonus... so there is a huge difference between high performer and normal performer, if you are not a high performer you feel like a labor working on a construction site. 5.

      Pros

      One of the best reasons to work at Adobe is might get to work with some top caliber engineers. People here usually like their job and are proud to work at Adobe.

      Cons

      Some negatives about working here are that as a young engineer there is limited upward mobility. Most people that work here, stay here. This leads to a log jam at the top. Also there are some people that have found a way to stick around, even though they aren't that talented.

      Pros

      - there can be opportunities for innovation - pay scale is very good - benefits are very good - there is flexibility in work locations - some employees work from remote offices

      Cons

      - innovation doesn't seem to get the same support it used to - ideas come from the top down - like many large hi-tech firms legacy products are being offshored to India and China creating a nervous atmosphere in North America - majority ownership are financial instiitutions - and that seems to be who is running the company
