Pros

Nice facilities, cafeteria, art on walls, fitness center, free snacks and drinks, in downtown San Jose near restaurants, good parking, and good benefits.

Cons

Sexual harassment is prevalent and Human Resources does nothing to offenders. Age and gender discrimination is rampant within certain departments. When these issues brought to Human Resources or Management's attention, they tell you how excited they are about being able to hire so many young, white, male, Mormon MBA's directly from Brigham Young because the manager has such good contacts there. This is completely against Adobe's expressed goal of hiring for diversity. In the last five years. eleven people over 40 years old were laid off in the same department of about 40 people and replaced with non-diverse hires.

Pros

- collaborative workspace, with great departments ready to support each other - amazing first month, until a new manager was unboarded

Cons

- a company led by toxic management (not all managers but quite a few) - hierarchical dominance - micromanaged at every aspect - promoted by title and no payrise - once you ask for a payrise, they'll make your life hell - Good people have left the business or been made redundant - Not many stand up to their managers, making those that do labelled "hard" to work with - many stuck there due to personal situation - a lot of favouritism - hard to be yourself, got to know how to play the game
