Pros

none i can think of

Cons

I was part of Adobe IT for about 4 years. Adobe decided to lay off their internal IT department again. They did this many years ago and went with EDS who failed and they brought IT back in again. UST took over the contract this time. Upon talking to management during the hiring process they laughed about how expensive the bay area is to live in. Then they proceeded to chuckle as they commented how my salary is what they pay senior DEVOPS engineers. I said "In India or Indiana because its not bay area pay rate." They initially offered me matching pay. Verbally over the phone and then he sent me an email with the details. I accepted and filled out the paperwork. 3 Days later they come back and offer me what i was making 5 years ago. Overall 25% less per year. I tried to negotiate with them to no avail. They didn't even greet my emails with hello or hi. Do you want this job or not? I accepted but cant wait to leave.

Pros

The company is already shifting from services to products and platforms business, with the CEO driving the change directly. This transition is visible and is steep. The upside to this transformation is the company already creating meaningful opportunities for people to grow new skills and take on more strategic and value-added work. The key is to lean in and make full use of the resources available, including client universities, hack-a-thons, ideathons, and skill transformation programs, to stay ahead. For internal talent, the opportunities in product, platform development, and consulting are abundant, across both existing offerings and new solutions.

Cons

the organization is going through a painful transition unlike anything it has experienced in its 26-year history; while this change is necessary to win in the market, stronger support through the transition is an area where the company can improve and focus.
