Pros

Benefits and corporate policies are awesome. At the corporate level, Adobe really takes care of their employees with financial, mental wellbeing, physical wellbeing, medical, and time off benefits. A culture of inclusion and equality for people of all races, genders, abilities, and disabilities. They have also been amazing in they way that they have handled the COVID-19 pandemic to protect their employees and be compassionate to all in a very difficult time.

Cons

The sales organization struggles with organizational complexity and a cutthroat culture that makes it extremely stressful and difficult to achieve a work life balance. Despite all of the benefits listed in the pros, the reality is that working in the sales organization at Adobe is detrimental to mental health and quality of life.

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.
