Pros

The products and the people who work there. And the customers who are so passionate about what they can create with the tools. It was always rewarding to see what they could create.

Cons

The quarterly layoffs. The forced bottom 10% pruning that typically happens, but with political fun thrown in to add to the count. I was told that I had to get more aggressive and focus on taking my peers out in order for me to get ahead. I couldn't do this as I had worked with some of these peers for many years.

Adobe is a Horrible Place to Work

Senior solution architect

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Adobe has a global brand. Adobe has a love for Adobe. Adobe states they care about parity. Adobe works to includes minority groups, but excludes others.

Cons

Adobe works to includes minority groups, but excludes others. Adobe works you harder and pays you less year of year. Bonus and commission structure is no longer fair. Adobe has a cut throat sales culture which creates a horrible work environment. Not quick to promote.
