      Stay away from Adobe Consulting (GDC)!

      Pros

      Adobe brand name in your resume and some nice chaps to work with. Salary and benefits are good.

      Cons

      Adobe Consulting or GDC jobs are mainly support roles with most of your day to day work involving troubleshooting adobe marketing cloud solutions so basically no strategic work for Business Consultants and no real dev work for Technical Consultants. If you are happy doing support roles and troubleshooting/implementing tools you might give it a shot. The other catch in the consulting roles are utilization goals which basically means you have to achieve around 420 hours of consulting every quarter no matter what the circumstances are which is linked to your variable pay. The management lives by the gospel of utilization goals and time sheets putting unnecessary pressure on employees. There were times when there were more pressure from the management to hit the utilization numbers rather than the client. The state of GDC is a well-known fact in Adobe with very high attrition rate and employee dissatisfaction. The higher management seems to have no vision or clue on how to fix this. Do not go by the brand name of Adobe do research about the role especially if it is in consulting or GDC before jumping into it as I have seen so many genuinely talented folks stuck here. I left within few months and trust me I had never felt so much better.

      Terrible culture under fake frontage

      Pros

      Can buy Photoshop at a discounted price

      Cons

      Very bad culture within teams, micromanagement, favoritism to promote and hire mostly Indians while firing non-Indians. Ultra leftist culture - CNN and MSNBC are on TV on every floor. All invited "guests" are Democrats. If you are non-Indian, stay away from this company - they will crush you and throw you under a bus in no time.

      It's not all what they sell "Adobe" to be if you are non white

      It manager

      Pros

      Pay is awesome if you fight for what you want, some entry level positions pay horrible -WFH- some teams allow you to work from home, our team didn't allow it. -Benefits - are awesome -VACATION - unlimited - all driven by your hiring manager, if your hiring manager says 2 weeks than that's all you get -GYM/Wellness - great classes, onsite massage available, tons of classes, great gym location -Some teams are awesome, it really depends on what team you land on. -They give you stock when you get hired that you can cash out over a few years. -Yearly raises are ok, but it's really all up to your manager- if your manager doesn't like you - you don't get a raise, or promoted.

      Cons

      -If you are non white - you are treated differently -If you are non LDS you are treated differently -If you are a woman you are treated differently -this place is mostly ran by men leaders, they don't promote women leadership They have announced they pay woman and treat women fair, that's not true- I have heard from most of the woman and lots of woman are promoted less, paid up to 30-50% less than the men. They frown on diversity and don't welcome it. Even when upper management knowing there is problems in the lower level teams they don't get involved or do anything about it. -There isn't an open door policy- you are not welcomed to come talk to your upper management, they barely say hi, you are suppose to use your chain in command, I went to leadership and then got "marked" , so it only damages your career- it's best NOT to say nothing. At the end of the day I have been around for a long time, it all depends on the team you end up working under. if you are under a good team and good lead -everyone is scared of HR, saying HR is NOT on our side, not sure why -Hard to move internal, if your manager doesn't like you he tries to make sure you are not hire able inside -too many stuck up people that work there and treat women horrible.
