Pros

Great company. Amazing benefits, good products, innovation. Good locations.

Cons

Lots of disconnect in Inside Sales org. Leadership making decisions that are driving experienced, effective people to leave. Compensation in my role is not proportionate to where my program (the ASA) is, and location is not negotiable. Add that to the very real prospect of not hitting one's full number (as many will not this year), and you have a losing combination. Also, the sales team in SF is isolated from the rest of the company and therefore does not get to feel like part of the greater company culture. This is a huge miss for people fresh out of college looking to grow and feel involved in their company.

Pros

- Awesome culture. I love going to work every day. People are really nice - exciting to be in the industry where a lot of innovation is happening - good work life balance - flexible RTO - two one-week shutdowns per year, unlimited PTO, global wellness days, great benefits

Cons

- Leadership lost its way. Missed huge opportunities in markets served by Canva and GenAI. Took the wrong bet on commercially safe models, missing out on huge opportunities that were captured by competing GenAI models. No clear strategy or vision from management about how to get back in track. Our products are losing market share every day and management seems to be lime deer in headlights, unsure what to do - Watching stock price deflating nearly every day is disheartening - Decision making is very slow. Takes ages to get things approved. - C-suite is mostly over 50 and often seem out of touch with latest AI and tech trends. Uphill battle sometimes to get them to see urgent opportunities that need to be acted on immediately - Adobe failed to organically develop major products in the last 20 years. Major recent ones; Firefly and Express; have not been successful.
