      Layoffs every other year were common

      Pros

      Nice opportunity and neat products

      Cons

      Layoff culture. is done every other December. It's luck of the draw. After layoffs, they begin hiring again. Belief is they get rid of bottom performers and get new blood coming in. It's a fallacy. It's discriminatory (age discrimination). It's a morale buster.

      Empowered to make an impact

      Pros

      I've been at Adobe for more than 9 years and I couldn't be happier. I have challenging work, the freedom to implement new ideas, a fantastic working environment and a supportive network of colleagues. I'm fortunate to have found a career that I love and a company that truly cares for its employees.

      Cons

      Nothing that I can think of. I'm thankful for the opportunity to be able to make an impact everyday.

      Was Once a Great Place to Work Then OK and Now On It's Way to the Bottom of the Barrel

      Pros

      At one time Adobe was a great innovative company. There are still some technically challenging and interesting projects to work on if you are in one of the right groups. A lot of smart people to work with and in some areas leaders in the field.

      Cons

      Management is perpetually confused and running back and forth with yet a new direction every other year and in the years between complete new directions they change the way that they are implementing the direction they chose last year. Employees have to be very careful of what projects they are working on when the direction changes or you'll be out the door in the (almost) annual Christmas layoff. Benefits continue to be cut to the point that there is no longer any guaranteed paid time off but only a possibility of a couple of weeks at the discretion of your manager (no accrual, no guarantees, no liability if you leave or are laid off). There is no consistency in promotions and a number of managers run their own little fief-doms where they implement their own promotion policies (i.e. promoting women only).
