CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Benefits, holiday time, work-life balance, facilities, developer and community outreach, off-work activities, exciting place to work with respect to product lines (Creative Suite, Flex, AIR).

Cons

Ossified hierarchical old-school Xerox PARC culture, little opportunity to move out of hired-in functional area or grow in one's functional area, culture stubbornly resistant to change, management lives in the past and resists change or innovation from the outside, navel gazing. Adobe marches to the beat of its own drum whether it makes sense or not. Failed

Pros

You have the chance to improve yourself because of advancement opportunities. It is a stable and very good company because it is well recognized.

Cons

Improve the internal career opportunities within the company to give employees more of a chance to stay with the company instead of going elsewhere.
