Pros

Executive team has a strong vision and they are very focused on growing the business. Their customers always come first. For employees, the company has been doing extremely well with their Cloud offerings so the stock has nearly tripled in price in less than 3 years making a great ROI for employees that get RSUs. Pay is good/ average compared to other companies in the area. Lastly, it's a great place to be if you're looking for flexibility and WFH opportunities. As long as you're doing your job and in the office for key in person meetings, they don't care where you work from.

Cons

If you are motivated and career driven, this is not the place for you. There is no CLEAR path to promotions. Most of the management/ Director positions are filled with external candidates and it is extremely difficult to move up unless you have an executive sponsor. Also, they don't conduct formal performance reviews which could be part of the problem. Adobe often times prides itself in being one of the BEST places to work but HR works hard on these surveys and they are always asking employees to rate them well. Company is also very political, more so than other places in the valley so you have to know and gain trust with the right people. Otherwise, your voice will never be heard.

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.
