Pros

Not applicable at all ! Probably the other BUs are better, this one surely sucks in compensation, values, culture and career growth.

Cons

This review is a continuation for Adobe consulting/ GDC consulting in campaign. My post here is a reply to the ERC representative who replied on my post. In my review, I mentioned all the discriminatory issues I faced here and how the top management supported it. Toxic managers even get their wives employed in the same team creating an indian lala shop culture. To this, a representative from ERC commented that this behaviour is not tolerable and it isn't true and should be reported when it happens. The reality is I posted it to your team directly on email, via surveys, to your head in India and in your so called skip level check-ins however, no investigation was done and the toxic manager who created all this nuisance was promoted in the next cycle. Please verify the facts internally before replying and don't promote such toxic behaviour by calling someone a liar because you have not gone through it, I have. So, you would not know how it feels like being on this side. Regarding me raising my concerns- While I did it, my salary was intentionally not made as per market standards/ GDC standards. I earned approximately 14-17 lakhs with 7-10 years of experience with a designation of Senior Technical Consultant. In case you still deny that you underpaid me, my next post will have my salary slip to show how you guys support discriminatory behaviour and underpay based on discrimination.

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.
