Pros
- Whole company shuts down the week of Christmas & New Year's and again the week of July 4th. Makes it much easier to unplug and come back without a tsunami of emails, etc. - Work life balance is decent for a tech company. - Sabbatical program for employees who have worked there for 5 years (one month off paid). - Adobe is very open to people working remotely and a lot of people do.
Cons
- Lack of job security: Adobe is known for having layoffs on an almost annual basis. People start getting nervous about their jobs come evert January. You're unlikely to see it coming. - Benefits aren't on par with other tech companies such as Google, Facebook or even newer companies like AirBnB. - Summer & Christmas shutdowns put pressure on people to not take vacations outside of those two scheduled weeks.
