Too much politics. Old folks are here since their birth and will retire from here. They have made their hierarchies and huge web networks. So much impartial appraisals. Dont know how this company is striving.

Great Company, not always great management

Software engineering manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Company treats employees very well, great salary, bonuses, stock, benefits, perks, etc. Leading edge technology and challenges - very fast paced environment where you are challenged to learn and apply new ideas Senior management is very good. Shantanu is an awesome leader and visionary

Cons

Mid-level management is weak. Mostly engineering staff that has been promoted, so they know products and technology, but don't know how to manage people. As a result, some people feel highly valued and others do not. Management decisions are very slow. Often employees have the opportunity to make decisions, but when disagreements occur, management can take months to make a decision
