Adobe reviews

-If you are non white - you are treated differently -If you are non LDS you are treated differently -If you are a woman you are treated differently -this place is mostly ran by men leaders, they don't promote women leadership They have announced they pay woman and treat women fair, that's not true- I have heard from most of the woman and lots of woman are promoted less, paid up to 30-50% less than the men. They frown on diversity and don't welcome it. Even when upper management knowing there is problems in the lower level teams they don't get involved or do anything about it. -There isn't an open door policy- you are not welcomed to come talk to your upper management, they barely say hi, you are suppose to use your chain in command, I went to leadership and then got "marked" , so it only damages your career- it's best NOT to say nothing. At the end of the day I have been around for a long time, it all depends on the team you end up working under. if you are under a good team and good lead -everyone is scared of HR, saying HR is NOT on our side, not sure why -Hard to move internal, if your manager doesn't like you he tries to make sure you are not hire able inside -too many stuck up people that work there and treat women horrible.

They brought me on as a Jr Technical Writer. They said they would train me and grant me some RSUs that vest in 4 years to convince me into making a long term commitment. Great! I was initially on a centralized doc team full of writers and a manager *(the guy who hired me) and it was good. 2 years in, they decentralized us and all the writers were split up and put under product organizations. Okay cool. The product manager who became my new manager was a nice guy and a great product manager but had ZERO CLUE how to manage a writer and was mostly nonexistent and just cared that my job was being completed, which it was. This was because he had no idea what my daily duties entailed. Both my first manager of 2 years and my 2nd manager had nothing but top reviews and ratings to give me. Then, the product I was working on got canceled and shipped to India. What did they do to the Jr Writer which they brought on, trained, and gave RSUs to convince him into making a long term commitment? They moved me to a new product, right? No, they just laid me off. Great manager reviews, total loyalty and commitment to Adobe, multiple product knowledge of several products across the cloud, and nope.... they just laid me off. A couple of my coworkers even complained up the ladder at how it was handled. But nothing changed. I was picked up by Microsoft a month later, but I still find how Adobe handled the situation very unsettling and unprofessional. They instilled a sense of commitment and loyalty into you... and so I ignored several other opportunities that knocked on my door--only to realize that was a mistake because Adobe didn't care about the commitment and loyalty they squeezed out of me.
