Pros

Benefits & Stocks! Location - for emeryville office.

Cons

The Adobe Emeryville offfice - Its actually not a true Adobe office. Its a tubemogul company which is basically a adtech company acquired by Adobe later. The Ad cloud of Adobe is not doing well and hence there's not much focus on quality or any new exciting initiatives & the growth rate is literally slowing down. Better beware of this company & do not get fooled by the name Adobe. I got 3 offers(Adobe, another big fortune 500 tech and a startup) & I chose this offer mainly fooled by the brand Adobe, location + benefits & stocks. But, after couple of months joining I really repented a lot for making the decision as the work or the growth of adtech portfolio of Adobe is literally slowing down and even their technology stack is not so exciting to work or learn. Their office space sucks and its a damn old building in emeryville and not like a corporate atmosphere. If you have multiple offers, better stay away from this Adobe Emeryville office(Adobe Ad cloud), atleast for the sake of your good. I'm currently out of them and my experience with them was I just wasted my 1 year of my career with them without learning anything new or exciting to my interest.

Pros

Stock options Wellness benefits Free food but of low quality

Cons

The list is really long. 1. Adobe India is nothing but a name for narcissistic personalities roaming all over who we call as managers and some directors too. 2. Senior management has God complex and enjoy playing with careers of Individual contributors. Managers can use abusive language too. 3. Just to show Integrity, they hire Females but do not have the mannerism or tact to deal with them. The Mental exploitation is to a level that you will be forced to resign and if you become pregnant, it would be the the worst nightmare of your life. 4. My manager even had the guts to ask me to rethink whether i want to proceed with my pregnancy. When i affirmed, he ensured to harass me in all possible ways and even gave me physical effort jobs including picking up of heavy files in my 3rd trimester. All my complaints to ERC (HR) was music on deaf ears and no action was taken. Instead ERC tried to change it into performance based issue. As a result I was harassed further even in taking leaves. The mental torture was so intense that it resulted in complications in my pregnancy. 5. When I was on my maternity leave, under reorganization my team was changed without any intimation and when i rejoined, i was made to work in shifts including night, which was not in my job profile earlier. That is the reason i had to resign. The top management do not have any empathy towards our family life and employees at IC level are treated as slaves. 6. Even while resignation, all the challenges faced during my employment with Adobe was told to ERC (HR) and till now no action has been taken against the manager. 7. Work From Home is not a policy and on Manager's discretion so you can always be ready for denials whatever be the situation until its required by them or you are in good books. 8. People are promoted on basis of yes man ship and favoritism and not on their work and skills. 9. Pathetic organization where you can be more equipped in terms of skills and credentials than your manager and still cant get promotion even to Team Lead level. 10. Senior management does not jot any growth plan. You will be asked to forget Vertical advancement and will be asked to concentrate on Horizontal growth. 11. One of the few organizations who force their employees to move to Contract position from Permanent one.

Pros

Adobe as a company is bar none. The benefits are great, the office building is great, the experience with corporate life is phenomenal.

Cons

The high-level management (director and above) in Inside Sales seems to care solely on their image, rather than their employees. Inside Sales org recently had changes that resulted in 70-150% increase in quota, unrealistic expectations on execution, and a downhill slope in morale.
