A Thin Veneer of Innovation...

Pros

if you need a steady paycheck it could be worse..

Cons

The company is filled with a bunch of corporate goons that just buy up innovative companies, 95% of their software is simply acquired and they do not possess the skills to come up with new products. Strategy is middling at best, they moved to the cloud to chase Adobe, they missed the VR/AR content creation boat to Unity. The 3D printing they constantly talk about well they pretty much made Ember and the Spark platform, both failed to gain any traction. The only reason the stock is doing well is a 10% layoff (surprise margins go way up..), Trump's infrastructure investment/policies and a rotation of the ceo leadership. A little annoying to watch fanboy videos on 3d printing/robotics/VR/AR when they have objectively contributed very little of substance to those fields. These videos usually comprise of AD execs smile posing beside real innovators and leased car robots hoping some of their magic rubs off on them.

Pros

Good benefit. Great, talented people(past) and technology. Somewhat Diversity. Flexible work hours (depends on department). Great location in Bay Area.

Cons

Highly political and silos. Too many Layoffs and reorganization. Layoff by political reason. Too many middle and senior managers who doesn't do much work but work around politics. Unprofessional recruiters.

Pros

The products are phenomenal and so are the benefits of working there.

Cons

Rapid change is leading to some culture shifts that are not healthy. The company is losing its employee focused edge.
