Pros

Great place to work! Frequent outings, Free food and Snacks, Shuttle service, Best in class Laptops and workstations, Work life balance but it is fading out at fast pace, Free access to learning resources and wellness benefits :) The Company is moving in right direction.

Cons

Adobe is not same in all orgs in terms of employee satisfaction. So I have listed down some cons of Adobe INDIA. 1. Salary increment is low even if you joined at a low compensation, You will desire to switch to obtain a comfortable package. 2. No technical growth in role, you will loose your tech skills after working for more than a year in this role. 3. Management: Managers consider them as gods and Individual Contributer as slaves. Adobe in turn pamper managers and shower them with RSUs while ICs gets peanuts. Entry level and Mid career ICs would feel like second class citizens. 4. Reporting Managers apply force to make you dance to their tunes. 5. Differences with your manager can seriously affect you work life balance. 6. Managers are reluctant to approve when employee want to pursue their desired technical training. 7. Managers decisions are not at all aligned with their global counterparts.

Pros

* Refreshing focus on employee wellness * Brilliant colleagues * Compelling problems on interesting tools * Good work/life balance culture... generally (see cons) I've been at a few big tech companies and Adobe is one of my favorites. I feel empowered to make impactful changes here, I'm constantly stretching myself in fun ways, and the products we make are incredible. Product and engineering have big dreams, and all the resources we need to realize them.

Cons

* Big time crunch culture around arbitrary goals By far my biggest disappointment has been just how hard product pushes on big projects with arbitrary deadlines and difficult scope. It turns into cutting corners and delivering sub-par experiences even though we absolutely have the talent and capability to make some exceptional things if we just let the dang thing bake a few more months. I'd be more impressed with the tight clip if the goals were reasonable for good business reasons, but as far as I can tell the reason usually boils down to "some high-level manager wanted X and thought Y sounded like a good target date". * Comp growth leaves something to be desired. Raises feel pretty flat, though it's not the worst thing since stock rewards can be pretty good as appropriate for performance. Career progression is pretty good here too - I just find it odd how stale the base pay increases are year to year.
