Pros

- Great benefits: unlimited PTO, healthcare, maternity leave, etc. - Good environment: new offices, relatively flexible workplace, remote work possible - Opportunities to work with Creators and interesting Customers - Good talent in Design and Engineering and some other teams

Cons

- Complete lack of creativity (ironically) and innovation: orders come from dinosaurs from the top with very hierarchical processes, most ideas are disconnected from the way digital media works today. The company has missed the boat on so many business opportunities, it's concerning. - Absence of Operational efficiency: bottlenecks everywhere, very heavy unnecessary exhausting bureaucratic processes; this company could not be moving more slowly. Current leadership has struggled for years to try and solve this. The most simple tasks still requires dozens of gate-keepers, making it impossible for any change maker to have any impact. Things go in circle so much cross-functionally, it looks like a complete circus lead by clowns. - Culture of 'doing as little as possible' with no rewards for those trying to get anything done. Talent is very mediocre and people have no incentive to do more or better. - Zero accountability for leaders and manager who fail to deliver on their goals, which is highly uninspiring. Some display really poor toxic behavior (some meetings don't give space for people to talk, some cannot take responsibility for anything or stand up for their team). - No HR support, check-in or processes, which allows very poor behaviors to keep going with no consequences (bullying, lack of diversity and inclusions in certain teams), there was not even an exit interview process for those who leave. Some team don't perform 360 feedback, while others do, which makes things highly unfair. -All of this leads people to be jaded and demoralized, with no trust that things will improve and talent has been massively leaving the company in the last year.

Pros

Not applicable at all ! Probably the other BUs are better, this one surely sucks in compensation, values, culture and career growth.

Cons

This review is a continuation for Adobe consulting/ GDC consulting in campaign. My post here is a reply to the ERC representative who replied on my post. In my review, I mentioned all the discriminatory issues I faced here and how the top management supported it. Toxic managers even get their wives employed in the same team creating an indian lala shop culture. To this, a representative from ERC commented that this behaviour is not tolerable and it isn't true and should be reported when it happens. The reality is I posted it to your team directly on email, via surveys, to your head in India and in your so called skip level check-ins however, no investigation was done and the toxic manager who created all this nuisance was promoted in the next cycle. Please verify the facts internally before replying and don't promote such toxic behaviour by calling someone a liar because you have not gone through it, I have. So, you would not know how it feels like being on this side. Regarding me raising my concerns- While I did it, my salary was intentionally not made as per market standards/ GDC standards. I earned approximately 14-17 lakhs with 7-10 years of experience with a designation of Senior Technical Consultant. In case you still deny that you underpaid me, my next post will have my salary slip to show how you guys support discriminatory behaviour and underpay based on discrimination.

Pros

I could write a novel of pros for Adobe. They have a genuine concern for employee well-being from physical to mental health, work-life balance, to job satisfaction. The whole company genuinely feels like a cohesive team, all working toward the same goals with the same passion and concern for one-another. Despite the organizations size, sub-teams feel like smaller businesses that are easy to navigate socially and professionally. The clear work-ethic throughout inspires an overall attitude of excellence and drives you to achieve and work harder daily. Goals are clear, the workload is communicated and understood.

Cons

Every company has it's flaws, but it's challenging to pull out anything more than a minor complain that would be commonly found anywhere. The workload for my time is a little higher than it maybe should be, but I'm confident efforts are constantly underway to make improvements and hire more great people to fill in. Unless you are willing to venture out and make yourself known, you could potentially feel isolated from a social perspective, especially during Covid, but even minor effort takes you a long way.
