Adobe reviews

1. Not a good paymaster in NCR. Your actual salary is pretty less than CTC offered. 2. Most of People are from Aricent, HCL and other consulting companies. So you do not feel that you are working in Product based company. 3. Lot of Chaos, e.g. people working in multiple projects simultaneously. 4. Not a very good work life balance. 5. Your manager has lot of power, so you are stuck if you get bad manager. 6. Lot of boot-licking, Random Promotions, Hikes given to favourate employee. 7. HR and Finance are complete waste. 8. Not many employee friendly policies like work from home, cab drops etc. 9. Lot of Difference between whether you are joining Adobe as QA or DEV

After the Macromedia acquisition all of sound it felt like we were working at a really big company. It was much slower moving and harder to get things done. Seems like we just keep acquiring companies since they can build things quicker than it would take to do within Adobe. We have had problems communicating to the development community the whole Flex story. There are certain people who just plug along and don't contribute much, while other good people were let go as part of the yearly layoffs. They reduced employee benefits e.g. ability to roll over PTO time from one year to the next eliminated profit sharing, instituted bonuses (at your managers discretion), and are now doing a forced week off each year, they tried to position this as if it was a better deal but no one bought that.
