Great benefits, terrible leadership - 2 stars only for the benefits

Campaign manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great employee stock purchase program, good health benefits okay (3%, vesting 1/4 of that each year) 401(k) match, free use of Adobe products, “unlimited” PTO*****

Cons

Top heavy organization with too many managers, ends up stifling autonomy and creativity. Thoroughly bureaucratic, takes very long for minimal approval. Managers tend to be disconnected from individual contributors. Lots of favoritism at play, especially when managers distribute workload, as well as for promotions. Say they want to invest in employees, but actions show very differently

Pros

Great company, with great perks. Adobe as a whole is a great company to work for because of pay(if quota is realistic) and benefits.

Cons

Inside Sales is still a mess. Since Adobe is such a large company, it takes too long to get any valuable changes done. We are bleeding reps because upper management can't pull the trigger to fix the issues they created this year in the Sales organization. Which is a much larger issue than just inside Sales. Adobe Sales org is putting itself in a bad position by not moving quickly to fix internal data issues. This is causing people not to get paid, and forcing the top talent to leave, which leaves Adobe with the unsuccessful reps. People are trying to hang on because Adobe is a great company and hope the changes will come; but time keeps on ticking and nothing is yet to change to right size the errors made at the beginning of the year.
