      Adobe Digital Eliminating Positions

      Pros

      Good technology. Nice to see they added campaign management with the acquisition of Neolane.

      Cons

      I'm hearing a number of people were recently let go. What's happening there? You'd think this would discourage prospective employees from taking a job there.

      People-focused and surprisingly forward thinking company leveraging industry-leading software to drive innovation

      Pros

      People focused: Adobe really makes it a real priority to retain good people. What's different, at Adobe, is you can be rewarded for deep area expertise alone. There doesn't seem to be a press to discover everybody's path to Senior VP. Instead, if you do a great job and your talents are needed, Adobe will try to keep you. Strong rewards: pay is equitable if not better than peer companies. ESPP, in particular, is ridiculously good. Health care is similar to most high tech companies but they do offer pet insurance which is somewhat unique. Management: very open, addressable; feels like a small company at times. True performance-based review process: no bizarre stack rank, no funky "grades", just a straightforward conversation with your manager about how you've done and where you're going. Work/Life is second to none: Need time off? Take it! No limit on PTO. The simple agreement is, simply, make sure your job is taken care of.

      Cons

      Things can be a little frenetic. As Adobe shifts from the old to the new, some plans come in at the last minute. Hierarchical career movement may be limited. Org structures are pretty flat so, while your scope of influence may grow, you might stay in the same spot in the chain of command for some time. There is some discipline-specific segregation, typical of a mature software company (e.g., testers only do this, marketing people only do that, etc). I think this is more of a holdover culture from older employees as I don't see any segregation coming from higher levels.

      Pros

      Great company with tons of talent. Decent time off, benefits are very good. The people make Adobe a great company.

      Cons

      Back office infrastructure is dysfunctional and outdated. Instead of spending money to fix the systems, they are off shoring jobs as much as possible, in my opinion, washing their hands in the USA of internal support. Sweeping it under the rug. Management manages up instead of managing their teams to build strong, solid performers and outcomes. Lower level managers seem to be afraid to really speak the truth anymore. People who have spoken up seem to lose their jobs.
