Pros

Nothing other than good insurance.

Cons

New Magento support management that started in October 2018 has created an environment of fear and intimidation. They have put at least one person on a PIP in each support team and fired them to scare everybody else. We feel disconnected from larger Adobe. Management has absolutely zero respect to their subordinates, especially lower ranking ones. Adobe "Unlimited PTO" has been codified into 10 business day per year by support management. Mandatory overtime that is enforced by fear. 6-week competition with $25 gift card prize - what a joke.

Pros

The pay and benefits and that is it.

Cons

I have never worked anywhere that cared less about the humanity of its employees. Perhaps this is standard for tech - but the way I've been treated makes me feel like they are either looking for an excuse to fire me or want me to quit, and I've been here less than a year. Everyone is paranoid and gatekeeps information so they feel job security but then lashes out when you don't know enough to help them. This company needs to change everything if it wants to survive.
