Adobe Systems - Poisoned atmosphere - lack of culture

Senior account manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Very good salary and benefits package

Cons

Culture of misstrust, envy and hidden communication. No openness to feedback. Management is uncapable of building a visionary culture. Most of the people are working at Adobe becuase of the good compensation. Dissatisfaction in other areas is compensated with high financial benefit offers. No personal development opportunities.

Pros

Great Benefits Package, Great Company if you are an Engineer

Cons

If you work in any G&A function (Legal, Audit, Supply Chain, Purchasing, IT, Order Mangement) in which Adobe Managers have been in the group for 10+ years, your advancement opportunities are nill, which is of course not what I was told during the interview. Managers are only interested in working you so that they can get ahead. Absolutely the worst company I have worked for.
