Pros

- Definitely have a strong market position in certain solution areas: WCM, analytics. Have an unassailable advantage with the Creative Cloud. - Some genuinely great people. - Still some good runway in growth because of good products. - Used to be able to make good money until quotas were raised so high...

Cons

This is for the sales organization: - more and more responsibility for growing the organization is being heaped onto the sales team. Quotas are growing exponentially with no real improvements in sales support (a lot of support has been removed), demand generation, etc. - Toxic leadership approaches (fear, intimidation, bullying...) - Quotas are ridiculously big compared to any competitors - The warm fuzzy culture portrayed publically does not apply to the sales organization. - Adobe sold it soul a couple of years ago and it's starting to show.

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.
