Pros

All adobe wise policies are good. Few of them are as below 1. Wellness reimbursement till 600 dollars 2. Education reimbursement(although I never used this) 3. ESPs(this is really great as any price value gets set for two years) and you get this price gets sets based on 25% discount 4. Cab facility(although process is little bit complicated but sometimes I use it when I stay late o/w free shuttle service is also great which I use frequently)

Cons

These are mostly related to DC 1. Poor wlf w.r.t. other orgs 2. Refreshers are not given consistently and the amount is less w.r.t. other orgs(In CC you get good refresher even with good wlf but here doing the same work will not help you even getting 100% performance bonus) 3. If you join this org from other company then you will be discriminated against people who joined this org from clg. For exmaple Mr A joined DC from school he will get to MTS2 in 2 yrs(at overall experience of 2 yrs). Now Mr B joined after 1.5 yrs from some other company now Mr B has to stay in Adobe for 2 more yrs to get promoted to MTS2(at 3.5 yrs). Although there are some exceptions if you really destroy wlf then you might be able to get MTS2 at overall 3 yrs of experience

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.
