Pros

good environment to work doesn't have too much work pressure will get ample time for extra curricular activities. not much to add

Cons

Low pay. Adobe india is a low cost center and pay low compared to microsoft,google etc. They misuse the NCR factor to pay low. Work generally is of maintenance type although there are few teams doing good work.

Pros

1. Good work. 2. Smart people to work with and you get to learn from them.

Cons

1. Very less opportunity to grow as leader/manager ( for developers and QE) 2. Bad facilities.. A lot of cost cutting is happening tissue papers on toilet , snacks, food 3. Every year last 5 percent is sacked...yes every year...I have been watching this from last 5+ years 4. If you are not in top 15% of company, you get 6-12 % hike ....if you are in top 15% you may get 20-20% + RSU + Shipping bonus... so there is a huge difference between high performer and normal performer, if you are not a high performer you feel like a labor working on a construction site. 5.

Pros

One of the best reasons to work at Adobe is might get to work with some top caliber engineers. People here usually like their job and are proud to work at Adobe.

Cons

Some negatives about working here are that as a young engineer there is limited upward mobility. Most people that work here, stay here. This leads to a log jam at the top. Also there are some people that have found a way to stick around, even though they aren't that talented.
