A very good company, but lot of team politics.

Software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

They take care of their employees very well. They hire very intelligent and focused people. Overall culture is good in the company. Good team parties. Excellent family outings. Good Free lunch and dinners in office.

Cons

Very rigid in terms of profile. Not enough growth opportunities. Most ridiculous pay structure. Package looks huge but in-hand salary is very less. High level of politics in the teams (on the regional basis). Young managers give preference to their sycophants and to the people from their own home town or from their state. This affects promotions and salary hike as well. That is why many people are now moving out of the company.

Business Outlook

Pros

1. Good Brand. 2. Good Projects and good learning opportunities. 3. Average Pay, better than HCL, Aricent etc in NCR 4. Job Stability though they fire 5-10% every year but firing mostly happens in US. 5. Free and Nice lunch.

Cons

1. Not a good paymaster in NCR. Your actual salary is pretty less than CTC offered. 2. Most of People are from Aricent, HCL and other consulting companies. So you do not feel that you are working in Product based company. 3. Lot of Chaos, e.g. people working in multiple projects simultaneously. 4. Not a very good work life balance. 5. Your manager has lot of power, so you are stuck if you get bad manager. 6. Lot of boot-licking, Random Promotions, Hikes given to favourate employee. 7. HR and Finance are complete waste. 8. Not many employee friendly policies like work from home, cab drops etc. 9. Lot of Difference between whether you are joining Adobe as QA or DEV
