      Pros

      Work life balance, stock plan, compensation, health benefits, family perks, great facilities, line managers, technology, executive leadership, people, spiffs, cafe

      Cons

      No formal training which results in longer ramp times. Quotas have doubled without a clear explanation as to why. Inside Sales leadership has little sales experience which is apparent and has resulted in changes to process which has affected overall pipeline for Adobe. Do to the lack of pipeline, there is now unnecessary stress being felt from the executive level all the way down. Lack of trust in inside sales Sr. leadership has resulted in top talent to leave. Morale is at all time low which is being shrugged off. Not only have we lost top inside sales talent, we are now starting to lose line managers that can no longer refrain from expressing their concerns. I'm afraid that concerns within our org fall on deaf ears as upper management is too prideful to admit that they are wrong and unwilling to make changes. Overall, I'm hopeful for the future but wouldn't put my money on things changing anytime soon.

      Abusive sales comp situation - keep looking

      Pros

      Adobe as a company is 5 stars. It is creative and they have great people working there, ESPP is great, and the benefits are amazing

      Cons

      If you are looking for a job in tech sales, stay away from Adobe for a few years until they get big-boy sales ops in place, and until they start treating QBSRs as more than whipping posts for a cost of sales metric. For this review, please know I left under good circumstances. I was not hit as hard with what follows as some, but I got out while the gettin' was good. Adobe sales comp is totally [insert your worst curse word here] messed up. They have a negative dollar to dollar hit to quota for any customer who cancels. This means you inherit a customer who is cancelling a $500K - $1M license and you are immediately that much in the hole. For a relationship you didn't start, and had no influence on. They have tried to "fix" it, but their fix was retroactive and I have friends who ended up owing Adobe $20K - $30K in COMPENSATION after the "fix". Some people I know haven't seen a commission this year and now owe Adobe more money than their entire variable compensation. It's a horror story.

      Top Management is a mess. Old company, old practices.

      Pros

      - If you work in a team that focuses on one product, you may enjoy working here. - Great place to work if you want to wait it out until retirement. - Moves very slow, so plenty of time to be spent at home with family.

      Cons

      - No action on workplace harassment. - It moves so slowly at Adobe that they allow aggressive harassment to continue for years without action. - While the HR team is receptive, the management team will not report harassment as required. - Management team only serves up, never down. - Working there feels like 1995. - They have no competition and they make so much money that there is no desire for change.
