      Abusive sales comp situation - keep looking

      Pros

      Adobe as a company is 5 stars. It is creative and they have great people working there, ESPP is great, and the benefits are amazing

      Cons

      If you are looking for a job in tech sales, stay away from Adobe for a few years until they get big-boy sales ops in place, and until they start treating QBSRs as more than whipping posts for a cost of sales metric. For this review, please know I left under good circumstances. I was not hit as hard with what follows as some, but I got out while the gettin' was good. Adobe sales comp is totally [insert your worst curse word here] messed up. They have a negative dollar to dollar hit to quota for any customer who cancels. This means you inherit a customer who is cancelling a $500K - $1M license and you are immediately that much in the hole. For a relationship you didn't start, and had no influence on. They have tried to "fix" it, but their fix was retroactive and I have friends who ended up owing Adobe $20K - $30K in COMPENSATION after the "fix". Some people I know haven't seen a commission this year and now owe Adobe more money than their entire variable compensation. It's a horror story.

      Top Management is a mess. Old company, old practices.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - If you work in a team that focuses on one product, you may enjoy working here. - Great place to work if you want to wait it out until retirement. - Moves very slow, so plenty of time to be spent at home with family.

      Cons

      - No action on workplace harassment. - It moves so slowly at Adobe that they allow aggressive harassment to continue for years without action. - While the HR team is receptive, the management team will not report harassment as required. - Management team only serves up, never down. - Working there feels like 1995. - They have no competition and they make so much money that there is no desire for change.

      Inside Sale - Lehi

      Account development manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Adobe as a company is great. Direct line managers are great.

      Cons

      If you want to get a great education and learn a lot Join the Inside sales department. You'll learn how to take a outstanding Department and run it into the ground in less than 4 months. You'll learn exactly how not to lead and motivate people, You'll learn how to ignore people and only rely on data. You'll learn how to take a simple successful system and over complicate it with busy work and pointless validations. You'll learn how to forget about the customer and doing what is best for them. You'll learn how to create an environment with no path to success. You'll learn how to talk out of both sides of your mouth. I am so thankful for this experience for now I know exactly what not to look for in my next company and how to not lead.
