Pros

Nothing other than good insurance.

Cons

New Magento support management that started in October 2018 has created an environment of fear and intimidation. They have put at least one person on a PIP in each support team and fired them to scare everybody else. We feel disconnected from larger Adobe. Management has absolutely zero respect to their subordinates, especially lower ranking ones. Adobe "Unlimited PTO" has been codified into 10 business day per year by support management. Mandatory overtime that is enforced by fear. 6-week competition with $25 gift card prize - what a joke.

Pros

- High-salary, awesome benefits, time off (shutdown, sabbatical) etc. - Amazing vision and story to tell customers - A lot to learn since the product suite and industries they touch keeps growing - Cruise by and still not get fired makes for a pretty easy job - Amazing PR and on many lists of "best places to work" so you can share that on social media

Cons

- Very political organization like many other large corporations with "meh....so so" leaders who either moved up the ranks by just working there forever (but didn't grow true leadership skills) or newer and somewhat better leaders who are cut-throat and moved up by stomping on others - Does not care about people, it's all about closing business and leveraging the weaker/nice people to push their agendas - No people develop whatsoever, no concept of goal setting, quarterly check-in and promotions happen based on tenure not talent/deliverables. - Mid-level managers are just individual contributors with a manager title, you will learn nothing from them and they won't develop you either. They cruise and hope you cruise with them - No diversity even though they are on many lists, its all paid PR. Most of the top leaders are White or Indian men. They have some token female leaders but they all hold leadership roles for HR or CSM type organizations and they aren't the best of the best coz they keep the best to do actual work.

Pros

Work life balance, stock plan, compensation, health benefits, family perks, great facilities, line managers, technology, executive leadership, people, spiffs, cafe

Cons

No formal training which results in longer ramp times. Quotas have doubled without a clear explanation as to why. Inside Sales leadership has little sales experience which is apparent and has resulted in changes to process which has affected overall pipeline for Adobe. Do to the lack of pipeline, there is now unnecessary stress being felt from the executive level all the way down. Lack of trust in inside sales Sr. leadership has resulted in top talent to leave. Morale is at all time low which is being shrugged off. Not only have we lost top inside sales talent, we are now starting to lose line managers that can no longer refrain from expressing their concerns. I'm afraid that concerns within our org fall on deaf ears as upper management is too prideful to admit that they are wrong and unwilling to make changes. Overall, I'm hopeful for the future but wouldn't put my money on things changing anytime soon.
