Adobe reviews

Management does not seem to get it in our department. They will not communicate with the employees and it does not seem that we have the clients interests in mind nor the employees interest in mind. This leaves us with only managers who are looking at the wrong items. If you do not have happy clients or employees the only happy ones left are stock holders and in that situation that will not last very long. To quote Dan Pink ,"When the purpose becomes unmoored from the money bad things happen." Mostly the Client Success Organization has to better themselves. They are treading water when they could really be in touch with the clients and be doing so much more.

The company is very risk averse and generally tends to be reactive (often years later) to industry trends rather than proactive. Additionally, management no longer focuses on doing what is best for the customer, and instead looks at what's best for Adobe (short-term thinking, in my opinion). There are many brilliant people, but complacency and resistance to change are a big problem. Additionally, in company meetings the CEO talks to employees as though they're the press, doling out bland corporate-speak rather than being forthcoming or genuine. An inspiring leader, he is not.
