Pros

Only good thing about Adobe India is the salary they offer at the time of joining. After that they don't care.

Cons

No training, everything is DIY here. Management never hear the employee. I kind of feel that the managers at Adobe India are snobbish just because they think they have the manager tag. Appraisals Suck!! You would hear all year that you have done an excellent job and get peanuts(that too empty) at the time of appraisal. Perks have gone down.

Pros

I had the freedom to be creative and come up with new ideas. We had major perks and a beautiful building. The location was awesome and underground parking was a plus.

Cons

Some really bad managers who were put in that position for political reasons. It made the employee invisible and therefore having no chance of being heard since the upper management only listened to our management who in several cases should not have representing us.

Great culture

Pros

Adobe has a great ethical culture of delivering mind blowing products while preserving a great balance of life and work. This derives from the founders, Chuck and John, and has been preserved because of their active involvement on the Board and because so many key contributors to this culture Adobe have stayed and not chased other opportunities. . The brand is very powerful worldwide and the pay and benefits are outstanding.

Cons

It is inevitable that a culture that does such a great job of preserving work-life balance will have pockets of operations where the pressure to deliver is very intense (sales, radical updates to products such as making it all cloud based). Also, the Omniture acquisition brought in a lot of people who were in the mold of their former CEO Josh James who was selfish and self-promoting and the antithesis of Chuck and John. They are very political and a continuing risk to Adobe's culture.
