Pros

In short, pros consist of leveraging a global brand, and receiving leading global remuneration. If money is all that you need, then this company is an option. But like all multinationals, they will attempt to squeeze you.

Cons

Where to start..... budget focussed on pumping the brand is all marketing, and doesnt translate to helping employees, particularly with regards to removing discrimination and encouraging true diversity. Adobe is a ruthless corporation that only rewards those within their inner circle. From the outside, it looks like the right place to work because they pay the right people to promote the brand. On the inside, it is a power play like no other. The culture is predominantly white/male/priviledge, with token participation roles. In reality, toxic masculinity is the norm here.....This company represents the epitome of the 1%. Avoid Adobe if you can, this culture is dated & belongs somewhere back in their founding days (1980s).

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.
