Pros

Adobe is a great cook company to work for. It is unfortunate that the dark cloud of the inside sales organization overshadows all of the great benefits of a great organization. The people and direct managers are excellent to work with.

Cons

The upper management of inside sales seems like he's trying to force all of the talent to leave Adobe. I have been with the organization for over two years now and have seen a lot of talented people leave because of their lack of faith in his leadership abilities and organizational direction. I heard such great things about Adobe and the inside sales or prior to me coming and at first it was all true. Over the last year I have seen a complete turnaround in the organization and Moral across the sales team. I am looking for other positions within Adobe and outside of Adobe and most of the people that I speak with within the inside sales org are doing the same. I looked at Adobe as a place that I could retire at when first coming to Adobe. I can say for sure that that is not the case now.

Pros

Solid products. Good marketing support. A lot of time off

Cons

The entire sales org is a mess. People are leaving in droves. Quota's are very high against account lists and very few reps hit quota. This has caused a real problem with morale. Most reps realize their quotas are a joke, so there is a high level of apathy. Also, if you are thinking about working at Adobe you need to understand you are penalized when your customers cancel. The value of the cancelled contract goes directly against your quota. This means you can have negative commission checks. Finally, you will take as much abuse from Sales Management here as you will anywhere else. So, don't think you are coming to work for a friendly, happy place.

Pros

If you like consulting and want to work in a service organization it is good for your. It will give you salary package at par with service or consulting industry.

Cons

This is not adobe R&D, it is GDC (Global Delivery Center). Work is mostly consulting and 10% of your salary will depend upon your utilization. Initially, it this organization was good but now most of the people are getting hired from service organizations like Infosys, TCS Accenture etc. and managers are completely hired from service organizations who have no idea what is going on here. Overtime is going to be another service organization. They have also stopped giving stocks to the new hires of GDC. Therefore, if your are working in a product organization and coming to GDC thinking it is Adobe, you are making the biggest mistake. Also, the expected work here is mostly to configure and rarely you will get to code which need certain thinking.
