      Was great, but it's changing

      Pros

      Fantastic benefits, great culture. It was a great place to work for the first five years I was there. The last two were the challenge.

      Cons

      Too many power struggles on the Creative side of the house. Management doesn't seem vested in solving the problem, and the peons suffer. Those that try to create a workable climate find themselves on the outside, and eventually let go. Seems to me that the fast/flexible Adobe of three or four years ago has given way to corporate stagnation. It's just another IBM/Microsoft.

      Used to be a great company, but management is damaging it

      Pros

      Wonderful people at the engineering level, and great products. Customers love the products, and have built impressive workflows around them, with the results visible almost everywhere. The engineers and testers work really hard to keep up with customer needs.

      Cons

      Horrible management that puts buzzwords and fads ahead of customers and profits. Way too much management politics, and a deplorable management view that all engineers are interchangeable. Not many opportunities to advance unless you are already a manager and brown nose a lot. And next to no recognition for hard work by engineers and testers.

      AEM: Always Entailing Madness

      Pros

      Stellar name and benefits. The ADBE name opens doors. Sabbatical (unheard of in tech). Liberal Vacation policy

      Cons

      If you have an offer from Adobe stay away if you have to work with Adobe AEM. It is the final straw that will push me out of the company. Management out of touch with whats happening in the field. Layoffs almost every year.
