Pros

- You will get name of Adobe in your CV as people are not aware that there is also consultancy in Adobe. - Free Food - Good Gym and Playing area - Adobe Product Team is really very cool with good hikes, Salary and work (NOT AEM or Consultancy Team) - Option to work from home.

Cons

- Poor work life balance in Adobe GDC. You will be assigned to multiple projects while some will be on bench. Most of the projects are not handled from India and you will have to do continuous meeting from onsite day and night (2-4 hours daily) - Cheating Salary structure: In Adobe consultancy, HR are trained to show you very good figures but you will get only 60% of that in hand. Also there are so many hidden clauses, like quarterly component will be paid only if you utilization is more than 80% which is not in your hand. - Mangers are very rude and they don't respect even if you giving more than 100%. Reason for that is in Consultancy most are from Infosys, Wipro like compnay and don't have any basic Technical knowledge. - No onsite opportunity. Its better if you join TCS, as culture will be same but you will at-least get onsite opportunities. - Very less hike: After working whole year you will get only 5-8% hike which is similar to TCS or Infosys. - Politics at High: You will have to face very dirty and high level of politics. - Threats from Managers if you resign or quit : The managers have start threatening people that they will destroy their Career if they don't withdraw resignation. In some cases they have mailed the company where you will be joining to withheld your offer. So better don't tell them where are you going to join. - Most the people who join GDC are quitting within 6 months and there is very much negativity in the whole office. Most the people around you will be frustrated and trying to leave.

Pros

Adobe is the most beautiful fools gold I have ever experienced. They poached me and many others I know from stable positions at other companies. Threw money at us to be on a team that was constant chaos and dysfunction. Only to lay off everyone SIX MONTHS later. Run. Don’t walk away from this nightmare. Unless you are a good ole boy fresh out of college. They love them. Salary was amazing but to be without a job wasn’t worth leaving a stable mid-range level position at another company.

Cons

Everything. When you think of Adobe, you think of photoshop and illustrator as well as tech and stability. They don’t want us talking about it, but they are internally very cishet WHITE Mormon male focused. If you do not fit this or agree with their values, you WILL be removed. I have seen it time and time again. I have heard that the managers are secretly pretty discriminatory towards people of color and lgbt. The people of color in management positions are few and far between. If there is one, like one of the directors in mid-market, they are tap dancing for said cishet folks above them. Not progressive as they make it seem.

Pros

-It's a Billion Dollar Start Up - fast pace, highly-intelligent people, makes strategic decisions fairly quickly for such a large company. -Culture is fantastic - you love coming to work because of the great people! -The solution space is fantastic - everything digital!

Cons

We're a consensus-driven culture, which can make the decision making process all-inclusive; but the positive is that once a decision is made, it is fully supported.
