Pros

There is a lot of pride in what we do at Adobe; we help people create great stuff and do their work with less hassle, and that is very satisfying. The company cares about employees a lot, and does a pretty good job with work-life balance; the typical Adobean is a 'nice' person. The business is also very strong; growing and highly profitable. There is a definite sense of mission at Adobe, and if you are capable and motivated, there is a real chance for you to be able to 'put a dent in the universe' and change the way the world looks, works and plays (look at Photoshop, PDF, Flash and Flash Video for examples).

Cons

There is a strong concensus culture, which can occasionally get in the way of effective decision making. Coupled with that is that sometimes people can be a little 'too nice'...not that there isn't lively debate or room for dissent, but depending on your style you may occasionally feel the need to bang or knock heads a little harder (or maybe you'd be glad that you don't have to bang/knock heads as much as where you work today ;-).

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.
