      Pros

      Great benefits and bonus to top 10% and mgmt. perks If you are a recent acquired company or deemed crucial for future, its awesome

      Cons

      Yearly offshore of jobs, especially in BU that are cash cows. Execs dont invest or take chances other than acquisition. Hackfest ideas are almost never followed through. Management isn't incentivated to take risks or innovate.

      Big Company, with all the good and bad that implies

      Program director

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Although a relatively large company, Adobe has always thought of itself as a BIG company. This does have its advantages: - Competitive salaries, great benefits, stock - Support of charitable giving and activities - Resources, opportunities

      Cons

      However, operating as a "BIG" company also has its drawbacks: - Bureaucratic - Slow-moving - Tentative - Rewards longevity rather than innovation - Annual Christmas purge (layoffs)

      Good company to work for, but not without some serious issues

      Pros

      Very competitive pay structures, stock grants for high performing employees, pretty good corporate culture, reasonable efforts to be a good corporate citizen.

      Cons

      A lot of work is spread across a lot of geographies. For managers and many employees this results in horrible work/life balance due to late evening/early-morning meetings and a lot of unnecessary travel. "Netflix-style" vacation policy can easily lead to having zero vacation if you aren't conscientious about taking your vacation. Years of shifting corporate strategies leads to lots of mis-steps and half-efforts which then result in layoffs that are still quite frequent. If you are a strong performer and are relatively attuned to corporate politics and you work in San Francisco, San Jose or Noida, you can do quite well there, but if you are in one of the many satellite offices or get stuck onto a doomed project, you are continually in fear of the fall layoffs as the company closes up projects in advance of the start of the fiscal year.
