Pros

They used to have Hard wall Offices but they are almost all gone now. Almost nothing left here that is good anymore.

Cons

HR does not stand up for the Employee only for Management . Managers Lie over and over again and then they let you go for poor performance for the lies they told. I will never work for this company again. They work you to the bone there is not work/life balance it is just work.

Pros

Good benefits. If you're in the right team I could see it being an okay place to be. Things work out better for those who keep their heads down, do their job, don't rock the boat.

Cons

Bullying not only tolerated but encouraged. Culture of fear, annual layoffs every November. I witnessed the poor treatment of a once outstanding coworker who became ill (illness is seen as weakness?). She was laid off so they didn't have to deal with her anymore. Management has no empathy or tolerance for weakness. Complaining about wrongdoing - including poor treatment of women - is dealt with by laying off those that speak up.

Pros

Nice facilities, cafeteria, art on walls, fitness center, free snacks and drinks, in downtown San Jose near restaurants, good parking, and good benefits.

Cons

Sexual harassment is prevalent and Human Resources does nothing to offenders. Age and gender discrimination is rampant within certain departments. When these issues brought to Human Resources or Management's attention, they tell you how excited they are about being able to hire so many young, white, male, Mormon MBA's directly from Brigham Young because the manager has such good contacts there. This is completely against Adobe's expressed goal of hiring for diversity. In the last five years. eleven people over 40 years old were laid off in the same department of about 40 people and replaced with non-diverse hires.
