Pros

Good benefits. Good office location.

Cons

Lower management is not good and they work to save their job. If needed, they ruthlessly treat you badly.

Be aware of people who have been with Adobe for a long period of time. They are there because they know the process and know how to keep themselves safe.

There is a big disconnect between what upper management is saying versus lower management. Upper management tries to convince you to be innovative, take risks, and so on. But lower management does the exact opposite. They advise not to take risks. If you come with an innovative idea, they will kill that right in front of five people and shut you down.

Advice to Management

Look around, who in the company has been there for a long period of time? Are they dead wood? They say Adobe doesn't fire people, but they do to keep themselves safe.

These folks don't have a stand, and one day what they say, the next day they don't support the same.
