      Flash is the future of Adobe

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Very generous time off, including company shutdowns to ensure everyone actually uses it. - Non-confrontational atmosphere; colleagues are accessible, pleasant people to work with on a daily basis.

      Cons

      - Lots of silos. Core component groups take no responsibility for downstream use of their code, leading to lots of patches and not enough sharing of knowledge. - Lots of work done overseas. If you depend on one of those groups it can be tough to work out problems in a timely manner. - Too many groups have their own agendas, leading to a confusing technology stack.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good quality of work Developer gets to learn from good quality code of great products Good people Complete ownership for quite some products from India

      Cons

      Bad Managers, lot of cost cutting going on currently as a result facilities are poor. India's Upper management treats the employees as slaves and think they are masters Very arrogant and nonsensical upper management of India Salary is not on par with the amount of work expected Too much workload. Treats employees as resource and has no good retention policy People in management frame their own rules and remember managers are all powerful and whoever licks his a** can become high performer.

      Pros

      Great benefits such as health care, caltrain pass, vacation time, ESPP, and so on. Big org so very slow paced if that is what you like.

      Cons

      No way to move up the latter. Performance reviews completely useless since any promotion is controlled by VPs and they don't look at that: They want you to be a brown-nose.
