Products are great & company continues to innovate Sr mgmt has always been strong Very civic oriented: very unusual for companies based in Silicon Valley

Cons

Mid-level mgrs: some good, many are real idiots Very process-bound: takes 10 people to approve every decision Review process rewards people who rubber stamp decisions of mgmt

Pros

Generally speaking, Adobe is not a super political place. I have found people to be genuinely interested in what is best for the company. That makes working across different teams easier than if everyone were in their own empire or silo.

Cons

Historically, the company has been very consensus oriented -- if anything, the power of the veto was greater than the power to make a decision. That is definitely starting to change.

Pros

OK pay, flexible organizational structure. Excellent work environment.

Cons

Slow moving in adoption of new technologies; internally and providing them to customers. Average amount of politics. Poor employee performance reporting process. Middle management needs business training as well as basic management training.
