Pros

In short, pros consist of leveraging a global brand, and receiving leading global remuneration. If money is all that you need, then this company is an option. But like all multinationals, they will attempt to squeeze you.

Cons

Where to start..... budget focussed on pumping the brand is all marketing, and doesnt translate to helping employees, particularly with regards to removing discrimination and encouraging true diversity. Adobe is a ruthless corporation that only rewards those within their inner circle. From the outside, it looks like the right place to work because they pay the right people to promote the brand. On the inside, it is a power play like no other. The culture is predominantly white/male/priviledge, with token participation roles. In reality, toxic masculinity is the norm here.....This company represents the epitome of the 1%. Avoid Adobe if you can, this culture is dated & belongs somewhere back in their founding days (1980s).

Pros

If you are joining Adobe in their consulting practice then your life will become hell. Only pros in Adobe consulting is that you will get Adobe brand name in your resume, nothing else. I left adobe in just 6 months.

Cons

Adobe ACS - Consulting is full of Cons. Employees are leaving from Adobe consulting in very short span of time due to below reasons: * They are just running behind billing hours. * To complete your weekly hours you will be forced to work with multiple customers irrespective of your interest and skill set. Most of time you will have 4-5-6 projects in your bucket and you will not get time for yourself. You will be working extended hours daily to achieve your billing target. * Your manager will ping/call you many times a day to check if you are able to achieve billing target. Keep in mind even if you are assigned to a project you can only bill that customer if there is some work assigned to you by customer for that particular week. * Projects are very short term(not more than 3-4 months). * There is no development work in consulting. If you are a developer, do not join here. * People are arrogant here in this practice. No one will help you if you are new. They will not even reply over chats. * Even If you are new to Adobe tools, they will give you few weeks of training that is of no use. And ten they will assign you individual project with customers that too multiple projects. If anything goes wrong they will put all blame on you. There is no planning for resource management. To get money from customer they will not even listen to your issue. Not sure if all this is known to leadership team of Adobe or not. So during interview double check with HR which department you are going to join. If it is ACS then you are not actually joining Adobe. Work culture is totally different. Adobe Engineering department is a good place to work, not Adobe Consulting ACS
