Pros

> Very good benefits package (high base salary, flexibility of schedule, lots of freebies in the office, stock options) > Decent and relatively well-connected location in the city compared to other corporations which are on the outskirts of the city (mostly Pipera neighborhood) > Many projects are quite exciting, with lots of ground-breaking innovation, interesting challenges, and new technologies. > Good internal mobility, even when trying to transfer to a different country/office.

Cons

> Some projects are not so exciting, they can become boring or enter a "maintenance" phase, but luckily there are plenty of opportunities to change your career or project inside the company > Some people are more political, they care more about how they will be perceived, rather than the success of the project, but this can vary, and it's not widespread. > Because of the excellent benefits or the long tenure in the company, some employees tend to feel entitled and may appear disrespectful towards people with less experience, in less prominent projects, or even towards cleaning staff.

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.
