Pros

If you like consulting and want to work in a service organization it is good for your. It will give you salary package at par with service or consulting industry.

Cons

This is not adobe R&D, it is GDC (Global Delivery Center). Work is mostly consulting and 10% of your salary will depend upon your utilization. Initially, it this organization was good but now most of the people are getting hired from service organizations like Infosys, TCS Accenture etc. and managers are completely hired from service organizations who have no idea what is going on here. Overtime is going to be another service organization. They have also stopped giving stocks to the new hires of GDC. Therefore, if your are working in a product organization and coming to GDC thinking it is Adobe, you are making the biggest mistake. Also, the expected work here is mostly to configure and rarely you will get to code which need certain thinking.

Pros

- Awesome culture. I love going to work every day. People are really nice - exciting to be in the industry where a lot of innovation is happening - good work life balance - flexible RTO - two one-week shutdowns per year, unlimited PTO, global wellness days, great benefits

Cons

- Leadership lost its way. Missed huge opportunities in markets served by Canva and GenAI. Took the wrong bet on commercially safe models, missing out on huge opportunities that were captured by competing GenAI models. No clear strategy or vision from management about how to get back in track. Our products are losing market share every day and management seems to be lime deer in headlights, unsure what to do - Watching stock price deflating nearly every day is disheartening - Decision making is very slow. Takes ages to get things approved. - C-suite is mostly over 50 and often seem out of touch with latest AI and tech trends. Uphill battle sometimes to get them to see urgent opportunities that need to be acted on immediately - Adobe failed to organically develop major products in the last 20 years. Major recent ones; Firefly and Express; have not been successful.
