Pros

Stock options, Healthcare benefits and fancy offices

Cons

The TAM Org within APAC is an absolute toxic environment to work in. The offering itself is so vague that no one knows what's being offered or what is supposed to be delivered. Management keeps rebranding the offering every 12-18 months to show "Innovation " and keep themselves in the role. Clients don't know what they get for the money they're spending and if employees make any noise about it internally then they're mentally tortured and shown the door for exposing the management. With the multiple acquisitions every year, the entire support org is completely broken and integration is hopeless. Clients feel the pain and scream at the folks on the ground and it makes no difference to the Senior management sitting in their ivory towers. The wider office also screams of white privilege. So unless you are white, don't expect a promotion or any appreciation for your hard work. You're expected to keep your head down and do the dirty work while the management turn up for receiving accolades. Employee branding do a brilliant job at marketing the company when it's totally they opposite in certain pockets of the company. Culture has gone down the drain quite rapidly and it's best to avoid joining them.

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.
