Pros

There is a lot of work, ideas and possibilities for professional growth

Cons

Over the past five years, I have encountered several challenges that have impacted my job satisfaction and productivity. Salary and Work-Life Balance: The current compensation does not seem to align with the workload, and the work-life balance is often compromised. There have been instances where working beyond standard hours, including around the clock, has been expected. Management Experience: My experience with management has been particularly challenging. I’ve had two direct supervisors in the last five years, both of whom demonstrated poor leadership. They occasionally raised their voices, creating a stressful work environment. While my current manager is slightly better, it seems the company consistently hires managers who do not prioritize employee well-being. Strategic Planning: The company’s approach to planning has been problematic, often leading to disorganization and inefficiencies.

Pros

All the pros that were once there are now diminishing since the arrival of the new sales director who has joined from Microsoft.

Cons

- no career growth - bad management - Extremely toxic work culture Join if you want to never grow in your career and want to work with no culture.

Pros

- Tech company so lot of perks if you're going into the office - Stock discount is awesome if you max your contribution you can make a lot of money this way. Although makes taxes complicated. - You get a sabbatical of a month off every five years. - Has really great maternity/paternity benefits - They have a benefit where they will match your volunteer/donations to charities which I thought was really cool.

Cons

- Super hard to move to new positions within the company that moves within your team. - Massive corporation so you often get treated in mass rather than as individuals (understandably, but sometimes means policies are punitive) - I'm a woman and I worked in the Utah office. I dealt with a ton of sexism. If you're a woman working in Utah you deal with this everywhere but I thought working for a tech company I might not deal with it. Unfortunately some of the most sexist comments I ever received in a professional setting happened here and I often felt uncomfortable- plus it's one of those things that sometimes when you report stuff like this it just ends up being more uncomfortable afterwards. Quotes from my previous boss or boss' boss: "You're here to break up the sausage party" or "When are you planning to have kids?", "HR was really putting pressure on us for being an all male team", "You're going to have to start watching NASCAR and the NBA to join in" (just assuming I didn't watch sports but full disclosure I don't lol). Oh and getting told to ask a less senior coworker who was working on their BA while I was finishing my graduate degree that I should ask advice on projects/assignments; 100% told me this because he assumed my male coworker was more senior/educated. I also found that if I asked questions in meetings they went unaddressed but if I sent the same question to my male coworkers to ask in the meetings they were resolved almost immediately. These people did end up leaving Adobe before me but it did sour my experience.
