Pros

Great culture, fantastic benefits, unbelievably smart people, great/exciting products and market leading solutions. Management genuinely cares about the employees and customers. Adobe products have a significant impact on the world as we know it even if it isn't apparently obvious to the average Joe on the street. A there are a lot of long term employees which is a testament to the culture that was started by our founders and continue today.

Cons

Decision by consensus at times gets in the way of progress. Internal processes suck and get in the way of things from time to time. Career paths can be limited in some roles - recent focus has been to hire from the outside vs. promoting from within.

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.

Pros

Great opportunity to learn from incredibly smart people, many opportunities to continue education, great for independent workers, not so for entry

Cons

Upper management forgets that first line managers need training. You need a thick skin to survive them
