Adobe

Colleagues are usually all from tier 1 colleges or from peer companies. There are always lots of discussions on puzzles, coding challenges & hackathons.

Pay is OK when compared to product companies. Stock options are good, plus employee stock purchase plans are also available.

Work is very interesting. You get to work on industry-leading products. Really like the way Adobe encourages its employees to connect with customers directly & learn how they are using Adobe's products.

The team is encouraged to learn new programming skills & design practices.

Buffet lunch, snacks, soft drinks, etc., are provided free of cost.

Depending on the team, work-life balance can be a bit screwed sometimes.

There's a huge, huge difference between the pay of developers versus quality engineers. Companies of Adobe's stature usually pay near-about or equal to Devs and QEs.

Peer programming opportunities are less.
