      Good benefits but company culture and values are lacking

      Engineering manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good benefits. If you're in the right team I could see it being an okay place to be. Things work out better for those who keep their heads down, do their job, don't rock the boat.

      Cons

      Bullying not only tolerated but encouraged. Culture of fear, annual layoffs every November. I witnessed the poor treatment of a once outstanding coworker who became ill (illness is seen as weakness?). She was laid off so they didn't have to deal with her anymore. Management has no empathy or tolerance for weakness. Complaining about wrongdoing - including poor treatment of women - is dealt with by laying off those that speak up.

      Large Layoffs Every Year Cause High Employee Stress & Constant Re-Organization

      Global sourcing specialist
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Nice facilities, cafeteria, art on walls, fitness center, free snacks and drinks, in downtown San Jose near restaurants, good parking, and good benefits.

      Cons

      Sexual harassment is prevalent and Human Resources does nothing to offenders. Age and gender discrimination is rampant within certain departments. When these issues brought to Human Resources or Management's attention, they tell you how excited they are about being able to hire so many young, white, male, Mormon MBA's directly from Brigham Young because the manager has such good contacts there. This is completely against Adobe's expressed goal of hiring for diversity. In the last five years. eleven people over 40 years old were laid off in the same department of about 40 people and replaced with non-diverse hires.

      AEP: Adobe experience platform: most TOXIC org in the entire universe

      Senior principal scientist
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Decent salary, if you are in the right team

      Cons

      - Highly toxic environment - Very bad engineering practices - Bootlicking culture - Your manager and skip are always right - zero innovation - internal acquisitions to show more revenue - very buggy platform - crazily slow UI - Manager hires to push you under the bus - mental depression is guaranteed - decisions are not based on data and logic - Management is mostly non technical and act like well paid egoistic program managers
