Adobe

1. Flexible work environment, great technologies, and latest technical skills to be learned with an emphasis on innovation.

Adobe provides a platform to grow professionally as well as personally.

1. Lots of opportunities to present your ideas.
2. Free breakfast (corn flakes), lunch, snacks (Maggi/oats), and dinner.
3. ESPP contribution (25%) is the best. I don't know if Adobe India considers this while doing appraisals each year.
4. Job security is good here; I have seen layoffs rarely unless you are a very low performer.
5. Higher management like VPs, SVPs, and CEOs, who are mostly in the US, are doing a great job driving the company.

Work - As a QE (Software Engineer), you need to take care of your skill set development as the company provides less of that kind of work.

There's a lot of manual testing and repetitive work in some of the teams, especially in Bangalore. If you are a fresher and you think you deserve more, then it's better not to get stuck in the early phase of your career.

Pay & Benefits - There is huge disparity between the salaries of QEs and Devs from the start, and it keeps on increasing as you stay longer in the company.

Work-Life balance is good since they know they have to give something to QEs :)

There are not many products driven from India as higher management and developers are focused mostly on filing patents.

Higher management in India is Dev-centric, so that reflects everywhere in work, pay, etc.

HRs provide wrong information about job profiles, saying 70% coding and 30% testing while hiring.

Sometimes they hire experienced people at wrong levels, so be careful about this.

1. Try to minimize the caste-ism of QEs and Devs by hiring senior dev managers/directors of open-mindedness. This will definitely help Adobe to be a better place to work and improve its ranking in India too, like Adobe US.

2. Let others also grow in their career path.
