      Be careful of GDC - It is a service division of Adobe

      Technical consultant

      Pros

      If you like consulting and want to work in a service organization it is good for your. It will give you salary package at par with service or consulting industry.

      Cons

      This is not adobe R&D, it is GDC (Global Delivery Center). Work is mostly consulting and 10% of your salary will depend upon your utilization. Initially, it this organization was good but now most of the people are getting hired from service organizations like Infosys, TCS Accenture etc. and managers are completely hired from service organizations who have no idea what is going on here. Overtime is going to be another service organization. They have also stopped giving stocks to the new hires of GDC. Therefore, if your are working in a product organization and coming to GDC thinking it is Adobe, you are making the biggest mistake. Also, the expected work here is mostly to configure and rarely you will get to code which need certain thinking.

      Dysfunctional

      Manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The stock price is going up

      Cons

      Management capabilities are lacking - lots of people in high level positions with no business being there. Adobe is a company that doesn't appreciate straight talk and addressing the issues head on. It is a very passive aggressive culture that only "yes" people thrive in.

      The Gang That Can't Shoot Straight

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great benefits- top of the line health insurance, 401K match, and more. Working from home is permitted. Also comfortable offices and decent onsite food.

      Cons

      Adobe has lost its way. Top management is out of touch and focused completely on Wall Street, not on pleasing the customers. Middle management is so focused on keeping their jobs they are scared to do anything that will kill the cash cow. Front-line managers are unable to effect change and don't get much respect. Layoffs are an annual event now, and each September on the company slowly grinds to a halt as the rank and file waits to find out whether they'll have a job the next year. It's terrible for motivation and also encourages short-term thinking, since nobody can assume that either the strategic direction nor their jobs will be the same over the long haul.
