Pros

It was exciting as a Workfront employee to be acquired by Adobe. Benefits have been above average, time off is great, competitive pay, work life balance, flexibility during Covid.. all of the perks you'd expect from such a large tech company.

Cons

The acquisition has exposed incredibly large culture problems that Workfront, and seemingly, Adobe leadership, refuses to respond to. If I had to give it one word for how women or minorities are treated, I'd say, toxic. Supposedly Adobe is this incredible company that is great for minorities and women, but they have done a terrible job onboarding the Workfront team to these values. If you submit a case with the ERC (a system in place to "help" employees) you're given the run around for MONTHS, with little to no solution. If you want to work with a bunch of entitled men, that regurgitate what you say back to you, then this is the place for you. Want to be told to "find a different job" if you bring up issues to leadership? Come to Workfront Adobe. Want to be talked down to and left out of meetings that pertain to you or your work? Come to Workfront Adobe. I could continue, but I think you get the idea. How companies like this keep winning awards for being advocates for diversity, I have no idea.

Pros

* Refreshing focus on employee wellness * Brilliant colleagues * Compelling problems on interesting tools * Good work/life balance culture... generally (see cons) I've been at a few big tech companies and Adobe is one of my favorites. I feel empowered to make impactful changes here, I'm constantly stretching myself in fun ways, and the products we make are incredible. Product and engineering have big dreams, and all the resources we need to realize them.

Cons

* Big time crunch culture around arbitrary goals By far my biggest disappointment has been just how hard product pushes on big projects with arbitrary deadlines and difficult scope. It turns into cutting corners and delivering sub-par experiences even though we absolutely have the talent and capability to make some exceptional things if we just let the dang thing bake a few more months. I'd be more impressed with the tight clip if the goals were reasonable for good business reasons, but as far as I can tell the reason usually boils down to "some high-level manager wanted X and thought Y sounded like a good target date". * Comp growth leaves something to be desired. Raises feel pretty flat, though it's not the worst thing since stock rewards can be pretty good as appropriate for performance. Career progression is pretty good here too - I just find it odd how stale the base pay increases are year to year.
