Pros

Life Balance, professional growth, flexibility, great people, an opportunity to work on a product that I love, and be involved in making it better.

Cons

Bad reputation in many circles, poor focus on core competencies. Adobe is making many (seemingly) segmented attempts at entering many markets, but seems to lack an overall vision of where it's all going. Apple has the digital lifestyle, Adobe has a conglomeration of many different kinds of customers it has earned or bought over the years. Bundling software isn't enough, they need to create a world for it to live in.

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.
