Pros

Great company. Amazing benefits, good products, innovation. Good locations.

Cons

Lots of disconnect in Inside Sales org. Leadership making decisions that are driving experienced, effective people to leave. Compensation in my role is not proportionate to where my program (the ASA) is, and location is not negotiable. Add that to the very real prospect of not hitting one's full number (as many will not this year), and you have a losing combination. Also, the sales team in SF is isolated from the rest of the company and therefore does not get to feel like part of the greater company culture. This is a huge miss for people fresh out of college looking to grow and feel involved in their company.

Pros

* Refreshing focus on employee wellness * Brilliant colleagues * Compelling problems on interesting tools * Good work/life balance culture... generally (see cons) I've been at a few big tech companies and Adobe is one of my favorites. I feel empowered to make impactful changes here, I'm constantly stretching myself in fun ways, and the products we make are incredible. Product and engineering have big dreams, and all the resources we need to realize them.

Cons

* Big time crunch culture around arbitrary goals By far my biggest disappointment has been just how hard product pushes on big projects with arbitrary deadlines and difficult scope. It turns into cutting corners and delivering sub-par experiences even though we absolutely have the talent and capability to make some exceptional things if we just let the dang thing bake a few more months. I'd be more impressed with the tight clip if the goals were reasonable for good business reasons, but as far as I can tell the reason usually boils down to "some high-level manager wanted X and thought Y sounded like a good target date". * Comp growth leaves something to be desired. Raises feel pretty flat, though it's not the worst thing since stock rewards can be pretty good as appropriate for performance. Career progression is pretty good here too - I just find it odd how stale the base pay increases are year to year.
