Pros

Adobe is doing some really cool things in tech and other fields and it's exciting to be a part of that. The workplace is nice--gym is top-notch, cafeteria is great, and other amenities make it an enjoyable work environment. I feel like the company, my manager, and my coworkers all support a solid work/life balance. Not only is there a lot of talent at Adobe, but there's an incredible amount of all-around great people and that makes work even more fulfilling. The company shutdowns (1 week off) at the 4th of July and at Christmas are AMAZING. Flexible PTO, sabbatical of 4-6 weeks every 5 years, $10,000 tuition reimbursement every year, four months paternity leave, 6 months maternity leave, employee stock purchase program with a guaranteed 15% ROI every six months, even if the stock dips. Several times when my family has gone to the dentist or doctor the offices are surprised at how great our health insurance is. There's also a decent amount of internal mobility that happens, so Adobe seems supportive of that.

Cons

This is hard...I've been with Adobe four years and it still feels like my dream job. Maybe one thing is that since Adobe is still growing so fast and acquiring companies, it can be challenging to learn so many new things and adapt to be able to support new directions and integration efforts.

Pros

-Food is good - Gym is good -Life balance can be good and flexible especially for managers. I have seen people take 2 months off a year

Cons

- 10% of the people do 90% of the work - A lot of people have been there over 20 years and are stuck in their ways. They have no idea what is happening outside of Adobe and are building things with no vision. - Teams are built without being staffed properly. Too many stakeholders get involved which make every extremely slow - People are extremely fake. They are going to be nice to you and then talk behind your back. Alliances are everything. - Management work based on fear. Unless you follow your manager blindly you can't get anywhere. They want change but they don't really want it. - Creativity and ideas are not welcomed unless it is aligned with what leadership wants. - Lots of people are there for a paycheck. Lack of talent - Extremely slow paced environment - The tech stack is surprisingly bad. It is not a tech company, it is a marketing one. - Product managers don't have sprint teams, they are consultants for the most part. - Most PMs don't use their own products and build without a vision or innovation -Growth is impossible as they are already so many managers and people get promoted on time spent on the Company vs impact.
