Pros

NO Pros only Cons : Biggest Office Politics in entire Adobe Stock Paris Office. Working Here is Psychological Torture Don't join Adobe Stock Paris

Cons

I am working in Adobe stock Paris Office (More than 2 years), the worst company i have ever worked for in my working life. People constantly swear and be abusive. Nothing could do was ever good enough. There seemed to be people leaving the company( Long History since Adobe acquired Fotolia) There is a complete lack of communication and high Office Politics supported by regional head and his few favorite members , This company caused me major stress to work for which spilled into my personal life. Local leader is not trusted or empowered to run the business and instead is micromanaging and bulling . Neither follows Adobe Culture nor Adobe corporate value.

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.
