Pros

Strong product when in the right deals, really strong Customer Success and Solution Consulting teams. Generally fun place and good people when things are going well. Adobe as a broader business seems like a great place to work.

Cons

Immature Sales Leadership in the Marketo division; resulting in micromanagement, blatant favouritism, people and teams getting yelled at. No Ent Sales Rep has come close to their target in at least 2 years so buyer beware if you are going for an Ent Sales role here.

Pros

I have nothing to say here. They market their pros well but once you go inside you realize that it's an empty shell

Cons

Some senior members of the Document Cloud team in Noida are epitomes of narcissism. They address junior employees using words which cannot be reproduced here. The HR (ERC team) in Noida does nothing when someone reaches out for support. While they preach grand things about their Code of Conduct on Glassdoor, the reality is that when someone approaches them with a genuine grievance, they do absolutely nothing but try to support the senior member by hook and crook. They say things such as there is no proof and no witnesses for the allegation (how can there be witnesses if such incidents happen in a senior person's room in a 1:1 discussion. ). I've heard through the grapevine that ERC will try to bring about a Performance Improvement Plan if things are a little out of control to get rid of the employee and I should just let the matter rest and seek employment elsewhere. Horrible company.

Pros

(1) Work/life balance at Adobe is just amazing. Especially the shutdowns in July and over New Year's are super valuable (it gives you a real mental break that you otherwise don't get). (2) The company has a strong monopoly with the Creative Cloud, which brings in huge profits and took the stock price where it is now. (3) It is an amazing brand and working for Adobe makes you truly proud.

Cons

(1) Level of stress really depends on what product you work for. On the Creative Cloud side everyone is somewhat dispensable (it's a monopoly after all), which means it can be a pressure cooker and very political. How else to stand out? (2) Given that work/life balance is so amazing, the compensation is a bit lower than elsewhere. I think it's totally fair but something to be aware of. (3) On the Experience Cloud side, Adobe doesn't have the same level of experience as other companies. Adobe is not a traditional Enterprise software company, which means it's somewhat uneven. (4) Kind of hard to make a career progression, given how nice the work/life balance is. Arguably it's better to make a career elsewhere and then join Adobe later on in your career.
