Avantages

It's a good place to work. They're innovative and they show willingness to take big risks, most of which have paid off since 2009.

Inconvénients

If you love to update your resume and begin looking for jobs every October, and you love being terrified that your position will be eliminated without explanation even if you're an exemplary employee, then Adobe is the place for you! Major restructuring happens in early- to mid-November every year, and about 5-10% of the workforce is laid off. Rather than attempting to find new positions for good employees, they just throw out the good and the bad across the whole company. If someone high up doesn't like you, you're in trouble, no matter how much value you've created for the company. (Note: I have not been laid off, but enough of my colleagues have been that I feel justified in writing this. If management just cut the dead wood, that would be fine--but people with consistently high performance marks are tossed off without a care, and others who create no value are kept around long past the years that they should have been let go.)

Avantages

- 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

Inconvénients

- 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.

Avantages

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

Inconvénients

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