Adobe

Adobe is a great place to work because of the following:

• Excellent benefits
• Great career development with both management and technical paths
• Smart, creative people building cool products
• Good base compensation plus profit sharing, quarterly incentive bonuses, and product ship bonuses = $$
• Flexible schedules and work-at-home opportunities
• Employee software purchase program is great and allows you to buy many of the more expensive Adobe products at a fraction of the cost.
• Employee parking garage in SF for employees willing to pay a small monthly fee (those that work in SF will know the advantages of this).
• Swag/booty - It does not take long to build up an Adobe logo wardrobe that you would not be embarrassed to wear in public.
• Good leadership that empowers their employees to make decisions at the right levels.

The company is made up of a number of silos (a.k.a. Business Units), and it can often be difficult to work across them, as budgets and location can become hurdles. The Adobe IT group is also very challenging to work with, and it often requires knowing multiple people across multiple teams just to get simple tasks done.

Break Adobe IT into two groups.

One focused on internal Adobe needs, and another focused on external SaaS initiatives.
