Pros

Great co-workers Company shut down week of July 4th Company shut down between Christmas and New Years

Cons

The many benefits offered by Adobe are to hide a toxic work environment that leads to severe burnout. The reason people tend to stay at this company is not because it's a great place to work, it's because they pay very well, offer ESPP, unlimited PTO (that is hard to use), and decent healthcare. Everyone is overworked, overextended, and exhausted. It's what is expected and not at all recognized or appreciated by leadership. Internal mobility is difficult if you're remote or don't live near certain office locations.
