So much potential

Recommend

Pros

Good compensation and benefits. Good strategic direction. Great products.

Cons

Lack of leadership - especially at middle to operations levels - is a concern. Many people in influential positions lack management & communication skills and accountability. Company values sound great on paper but are not lived. Work-life balance has deteriorated in recent years. Slow. Good people let go and weak ones left making it so many people fear being laid off.

Acrobat is hell

Pros

Adobe as a company might be good and it really depends on the team that you are in. Employee benefits are good.

Cons

Lot of politics. Acrobat team is one hell in Adobe. Management is really stupid and has no idea as to how to manage people. What they are concerned is only about they managers and how to make them happy.

Mediocre on Many Levels

Pros

Great location if you live in downtown San Jose.

Cons

People do busy work. It's more important to look busy than to be productive. Much too much time is spent on internal politicking and creating presentations to "sell" what you are working on to other internal teams, as opposed to creating value for customers. Execs are highly paid and impressed with themselves. This is not the "cool" place to work that they think it is, although they will try very had to convince you.
