      Overpaid & Mediocre. How long can you milk a cash cow?

      Pros

      Do nothing, blame others, rise upwards! Really, just "make it all look good" and you will be successful! Especially: be extra nice, overtly (okay to stab backs behind doors: everyone does that).

      Cons

      Can't sleep at night. Any ideas you have -- ESPECIALLY innovation (threatening!) -- will come to nothing. Management will see to that -- as they are measured on keeping the milk flowing from the cash cow.

      Depressing, no growth, last of the old guard

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      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.

      CYA culture has infected the company

      Financial analyst

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Benefits, good pay, excellent facilities, sabbatical. This is probably what kept a lot of bad employees around for so long.

      Cons

      Micro management, lack of team environment, negative work environment. Maybe I was an isolated case but I felt I was setup to fail at Adobe. I had the worst manager I have ever worked for in my career. Her and all her direct reports were more concerned about saving face rather than helping a new hire. I've taken criticism but this was to the point that it made the work environment toxic. Just my opinion but I saw this from other managers as well. They have no sense of what it means to be a leader. They think repeating scripting lines by HR makes them a good "manager".
