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

Pros

* 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.

Cons

* 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.
