I have got an offer from Adobe(consulting) but the package they are offering is same as that I’m getting currently. Additionally they are just giving RSU which has its own terms and conditions along with the vesting timelines. As such my monthly salary will be less than what I’m getting currently. It is a very difficult decision and it would be solely for the brand name. Please suggest. P.S. I have worked at big4s too so I know the work culture and the long working hours

Please don't make the mistake of running after the brand name, if you get better compensation, good work outside already.
I have Adobe consulting experience, I have worked in Big4 for almost 5 years, and let me clarify that you aren't gonna get anything new or better over here.

Only positives:
1. Easier access to latest Adobe tech (mostly helpful for developers)
2. Free food (u hv a knack of spending if u hv worked in big4)
3. Some common employee benefits
4. Brand name
5. One month sabbatical after 5 years in the company.
6. Job security better than others in market.

Other things Adobe managers boast of, but I'll bust them with my experience:
1. Premium Adobe consulting projects: Bullshit! I have seen and worked in stupid projects.

2. Best developers & architects: Some are good, a lot are just mediocre, a few dumbasses. That's the reason with poor projects, no good developer or architect stay here for long.

3. Holidays, well being day offs: It is common in many companies and have been in adoption since COVID among a lot of companies. Nothing new that Adobe is doing.

4. A product company: if you are in Adobe consulting, the higher management isn't clear what they want and are fools sitting with just years of experience to count. They are neither good in consulting, nor product building. They too run after just profits, client retention to help 'sales commission' 😂.

5. A great management: in continuation to previous point, the managers (especially delivery managers and above) are just doing their 9-5 job, they have no idea about Adobe products too and throw meaningless jargons to collect their paychecks. The clients feel that too. The management is confused about their role, actions, legacy and decision to call themselves a product company or a consulting arm of a product company. A company like Adobe's profitability gets hit if a few employees take leaves on extended weekends as per higher management and they cancel the sanctioned leaves (even if u didn't take one till date.


Negatives:
1. Reporting managers: The biggest lot stupids mostly doubling up as Delivery managers - their primary role.

2. No clarity on hikes, promotions

3. A flat structure: this should have been a positive, but the way it is practiced, it is indeed a negative in India.

4. Hiring: Talent / skill takes a back seat to the years of experience. You can easily find 7-8 years experienced senior tech consultants not fit as individual contributors collecting huge paychecks, but talented 5-6 year experienced tech consultants carrying out delivery, team leading, maintaining project quality not being promoted or provided a good hike.

5. Hikes: Hikes are bad in general. They are a premium to the clients comparable to Deloitte or Sapient (hourly charges per resource), but hikes are bad.

If u plan to join, make sure u enter with a good package.
