Pros

The products are well received by customers but are definitely starting to slip. Stock is flying, espp program excellent as well as benefits.

Cons

Where do I begin. In my twenty plus years of sales this place was the most toxic and frustrating for ridiculous reasons. The management team creates an unnecessary toxic environment that prevents effective selling and supporting of customers. The amount of internal work far outweighs the selling that should be going on to the customer base. The aggressive nature of the sales management team creates an ugly environment, that then gets pushed on to the customers. Some of the management is talented but feels intimidated by upper management and that is pushed to the salesforce. There are unqualified people in management that micromanage to a level I have never seen. The worst part is having commission taken back when a customer doesn't renew that you didn't sell in the first place! Numerous good reps and managers have left for this reason. I can't stress this enough, stay away from this toxic environment

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.
