Nice place, shame about the quiet culture and bad apples that ruin it. A pity! - Technical Specialist Adobe Employee Review

Pros

Reasonably nice pay, decent offices with free drinks. Mostly really nice people, and some nice RSU options and employee stock programs.

Cons

Well - what can I say? A lot of late nights, a fair amount of workplace harassment (“company old timers” waiting until you’re on the train home before rejecting yet another code review without showing you how the company likes things done - missed three deadlines because of this!). This was basically bullying and I realised quickly that there was no appetite to tackle it, and so I had to just get on with it and make plans to get out ASAP. Lots of people looking very tired and too frightened to leave or speak up about the frankly awful culture. What a pity. So many really nice nice people too, who I really liked - pretty much spoiled by one or two very very bad apples.

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.
