Depressing, no growth, last of the old guard

Pros

Pulling market capital out of years of unrealized gains, creative cloud is a marketing move for the ages. Great work lifestyle, 6 hour days, lots of vacation, over paid when threatening to quit... Great to be a lifer.

Cons

Anyone with an ounce of motivation has left this company. You will fall behind and become over paid, leaving you with little experience to move on. No growth products and little innovation. Command and control leadership. Rules and plans are handed down from above.
