Pluspunten

The company knows that transformation is needed to stay on top of a rapidly changing industry, and has so far done a fair job tearing down the old and busted pieces from within to create a service-oriented business. To see this first hand with VPs, directors, and management within the "creative" business has been one of my best career experiences. Leadership puts a lot of trust in each employee to do their best. Because of this, there is a lot of opportunity to influence things in a meaningful way that is rare in a company this size. I love each day at my job!

Minpunten

The wide geographic dispersion of employees is difficult to manage and work tasks sometimes feels like they are flung around without good technical direction. Certain pockets in the company have a lot of politics. There are good opportunities to interact with other developers, but many don't take advantage of it (or can't because of fixing tough problems of our own making). A lot of things that are done by individuals to "check a box": inefficient meetings, partial communication, incomplete work, missing/lacking integration... it feels like this can improve, though.

Pluspunten

* 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.

Minpunten

* 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.
