Adobe Senior Program Manager in San Jose, CA:   (Current Employee)

Pros

Benefits, Corporate culture, and many the ability to work with some of the smartest people in the world.

Cons

Processes and procedures are very strict. The back-office processes are set up to enable the existing business model to maintain close to 40% operating margins, but is not nimble enough to support new business models.
 in order to achieve the high operating margins budgets are always very tight with not much room to fix things like the back-office infrastructure.

Advice to Senior Management

Announce to the street that you will take a slight hit to operating margins as you increase your level of M&A activity and substantially invest in fixing systems and process to allow the company to scale and acquire different business models.
