Sr. Management need to be little bit more transparent with employees

Pros

Has good technical talent and good low-mid level management. Policies are generally employee friendly, has good work life balance. There were decent technical challenges.

Adobe is a company in transition and faces significant challenges on the growth front. They culled couple of platforms, Flash and LiveCycle recently. As a result of these changes most of the work happening in India seems to be in maintenance. A lot of good technical talent seems to just linger around without definitive purpose.
