Pros

Adobe as a company really seems to care about the well being of it's employees. They have very competitive benefits and will always get you the hardware / software you want to do your job. Most of the offices have done really well to hire a diverse group of people and it seems to be really benefiting the company.

Cons

The office in Lehi has retained a lot of the old management from a previous acquisition that was based in Utah. This has brought with it a very polarized staff who work under the assumption that everyone is just like them. The hiring practices and management reflect this as well. Management doesn't seem to want to take action until you have had a problem. Never before when you are telling them that there is going to be one. Additionally, if you are a performer, the workload will just pile on to that individual. There area a lot of under-performers who are content with just doing minimal amount of work and much of the management enjoys this type who don't have any drive. Finally, at times, there is minimal amount of communications from your manager to you about how they feel you are performing and what that will mean at review time. You are very often left guessing what compensation will be right up until you just receive an email.

Oversold the role, admin madness!

Pros

Great Brand awareness Good Life balance Pay well.

Cons

If you look under the covers of their platform prop, it is poorly stitched together and requires expensive PS engagements to make it work, My role was completely oversold to me as strategic when it was purely admin. No consistent expected behaviors within and across teams.

Pros

1) Free food. 2) Less work pressure in some teams (not all) 3) Smart people

Cons

1) Most of the teams are doing exploratory or supporting work to US, not much challenging work. 2) Bossy types, keep your boss and management happy to enjoy benefits else you are screwed. 3) Career path stagnation specially when you grow senior 4) Learning is not good and you can easily get outdated in the market, thats the biggest risk for working with Adobe.
