Pros

- Definitely have a strong market position in certain solution areas: WCM, analytics. Have an unassailable advantage with the Creative Cloud. - Some genuinely great people. - Still some good runway in growth because of good products. - Used to be able to make good money until quotas were raised so high...

Cons

This is for the sales organization: - more and more responsibility for growing the organization is being heaped onto the sales team. Quotas are growing exponentially with no real improvements in sales support (a lot of support has been removed), demand generation, etc. - Toxic leadership approaches (fear, intimidation, bullying...) - Quotas are ridiculously big compared to any competitors - The warm fuzzy culture portrayed publically does not apply to the sales organization. - Adobe sold it soul a couple of years ago and it's starting to show.

Pros

Do nothing, blame others, rise upwards! Really, just "make it all look good" and you will be successful! Especially: be extra nice, overtly (okay to stab backs behind doors: everyone does that).

Cons

Can't sleep at night. Any ideas you have -- ESPECIALLY innovation (threatening!) -- will come to nothing. Management will see to that -- as they are measured on keeping the milk flowing from the cash cow.

Pros

Pulling market capital out of years of unrealized gains, creative cloud is a marketing move for the ages. Great work lifestyle, 6 hour days, lots of vacation, over paid when threatening to quit... Great to be a lifer.

Cons

Anyone with an ounce of motivation has left this company. You will fall behind and become over paid, leaving you with little experience to move on. No growth products and little innovation. Command and control leadership. Rules and plans are handed down from above.
