CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Although a relatively large company, Adobe has always thought of itself as a BIG company. This does have its advantages: - Competitive salaries, great benefits, stock - Support of charitable giving and activities - Resources, opportunities

Cons

However, operating as a "BIG" company also has its drawbacks: - Bureaucratic - Slow-moving - Tentative - Rewards longevity rather than innovation - Annual Christmas purge (layoffs)
