Adobe reviews

1. Your overall experience depends on the team and business segment. 2. I DONOT recommend the position of Cloud Deployment Engineer in AMS in particular for the following reasons: i. Repetitive tasks. ii. On the job learning opportunities are less unless you're in specialisation track - monitoring, splunk, servicenow. iii. Its a support and operations job. iv. Due to a shift in automation in AEM offering through cloud-as-a-service model, the job role of CDE will not exist in near future. At best you will be retained into some specialisation track. v. The growth is very poor. vi. The mid-level management is hostile. E.g. you might not believe this - if your laptop stops working for some reason then you're responsible to sort it out with IT ASAP. You'll be held responsible for any delay. Managers will dump their frustration on you like its your fault. vii. You can be targeted and indirectly forced into certain specialisation track and in projects for which no documentation exists. A strict timeline will be imposed during which you'll need to learn everything and start contributing to the projects in addition to your already existing regular workloads. Even if its unrealistic and for some reason you fail to deliver, you'll be put on PIP without appraisals. You'll not be allowed to provide any justification from your side. HR will be informed but he/she will not reach out to you to listen to your side of the story. 3. KTs will be very minimal. Depending on the person responsible for giving KT to you will schedule meetings for tracking purpose and ask you if you have any doubts while you're learning on your own capacity. 4. The threat of retaliation still remains real at an individual level and in management level as well even after assurances from the CEO on no retaliation policy. So please do consider the above points before you accept the offer.

No growth for internal candidates to develop further, unless you know some one moving internally in the company is difficult. They prefer external candidates as compared to hiring some one within Adobe. The support teams supporting various enterprise products burn the midnight oil working weekends during the summer shutdown, winter shutdown doing an on-call rotation and don't get compensated. The senior management keeps talking about work life balance but when it comes to taking care of employees in a practical way they lack a vision. Other companies like Facebook, Ebay , Cisco who run the 24 hr operations have a dedicated NOC team, thats not the case here in Adobe where the teams are expected to do regular work and support the On call as well. It becomes 18hrs of work a single day very tiring and over whelming.
