Adobe

1. Always rated high when it comes to best companies to work with. Takes good care of employees. You'll feel pampered.

2. Good compensation.

3. Smart people all around.

4. Education Reimbursement up to USD 10,000 every year.

5. Wellness Reimbursement up to USD 550 per year (Buy new Nike Shoes, Apple iWatch, Gym stuffs, basically anything you spend on fitness).

6. ESPP: Purchase stocks at a discount of 15%, which is capped at a maximum of 25% of your monthly salary.

7. Free meals, early morning fruits, and a lot of options available when you want to have some tea, coffee, or soft drinks.

8. Good work-life balance. In spite of the fact that Adobe provides all those benefits, the best thing I like about it is that it doesn't exploit you; it respects your time and personal life. That doesn't mean you'd sit idle; you'd just get the right amount of work. Not to state the obvious, exceptions are not considered.

Overall, if you can bear with the chaos of Delhi, this is a company to settle. You'd find a lot of people who have completed 5-10 years in Adobe, and they are everywhere.

1. Weak HR team, especially the one in Noida. This may be because you don't always need an MBA to get into Adobe's HR team. There have been many stories of candidates having a bad joining experience, one of which is mine. I wouldn't like to share much, but that showed how irresponsible they are.

2. Disparity in Salary: Just when you accept that there has to be a difference between the salaries of a tester and a developer, you'll realize there is a lot of disparity within a team, with people at the same level. (I am on the higher side of the scale here, but still feel this isn't good).

I can't suggest what needs to be done in this regard, but I and a few of my colleagues strongly feel that the HR team needs to get better in their job.
