Great company to work with but Annual Layoffs are a Killer

Technical account manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Great work environment and company culture - Good Technology - Great flexible hours

Cons

- Annual layoffs. It happens every year in Oct-Nov before the end of their Annual year. Affected are mostly in high cost area such as US and Europe and they replace those with lost cost centers like India. - Very little chance of cross group movement. They prefer to hire from outside instead of giving inside opportunity unless you have connections then you can move into any position.

Business Outlook

Pros

- lots of time off and flex time, work at home - free drinks and snacks - sabbatical every 5 years - ESPP better than other companies

Cons

Adobe has changed a lot, keep disappointing me and lying to me. Stopped paying quarterly profit sharing(that was a part of my income) and pay more to CEO, more and more off share, layoff US workers every year, politics and going more toward top-down. Coworkers only thinking about their job security. No passion to work.

a company relentlessly outsourcing anything it can

Engineering manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

talented people. interesting technology good working environment (hardware)

Cons

Constantly moving project to India and intentionally keep us department under-resourced. No paid PTO, you can get 3 weeks PTO for a year,if you are lucky to have a good manager to allow you to do that, or you get nothing when you leave the company. company used to give out profit share every quarter, not any more
