Pros
You’ll work with some incredibly talented and supportive colleagues who genuinely want to help. The benefits are solid (though the wellness fund could be more competitive), and the offices are modern with top-notch equipment. Adobe’s creative solutions are best-in-class, and the strength of the brand often opens doors and gets you in front of the right people.
Cons
I’ve always admired Adobe and there are still some brilliant people in the DX team. But lately, things have shifted — and not in a good way. A lot of senior leaders have left, and the direction of the UK business feels pretty unclear. That uncertainty trickles down, leaving many of us wondering where we fit in and what the future holds. There’s a sense of favouritism that’s hard to ignore — certain reps are protected and rewarded, while others struggle to get support or recognition, even when performing. Promotions and patch allocations can feel inconsistent and opaque. It’s tough to stay motivated when the playing field doesn’t feel level. PIPs are handed out quickly, and sometimes without meaningful coaching beforehand. That’s had a big impact on morale. It creates pressure and fear, rather than helping people improve. On top of that, the targets are aggressive, the ICPs are tight, and the go-to-market strategy keeps shifting without much enablement to support it. Work-life balance has also taken a hit — there’s an unspoken expectation to always be ‘on’. And collaboration across regions like MENA and UK often feels disconnected, which makes selling even harder. I still believe in Adobe’s vision and love the products, but without stronger leadership and a culture reset, there’s a real risk of losing great talent.
