Adobe reviews

Single handedly the most psychotic place I’ve ever worked, totally chaotic, no transparency, multiple senior leaders “resigning” without notice when in reality they are fired and forced out by other leaders coming from other parts of the business. Truly cloack and dagger. There is no honestly, everyone lies and hides the truth and you are subject to last minute shock attack meetings, where you’re bombarded with violent criticism that you can’t usually help due to lack of transparency and communication. All the same inequality issues as most big tech, Adobe are just really good at PR-ing the hell out of their employee ran diversity clubs that don’t do anything meaningful to improve employee experience they throw parties and give out branded merchandise. This business is full of deeply calculating people who are rewarded for how cut throat they can be. Whatever you do don’t believe the one family messaging, it’s a lie, no one takes care of each other and you aren’t protected no matter how hard you work. Leaders do whatever they like to their teams and are rewarded with more team members. Ultimately it was a terrible place to work but the Employee resource centre puts on loads of events, gives away a bunch of freebies and travel opportunities cloud just how grim it really is. There is also 0 upward progression people work there for 10+ years and never get promoted.

• Upper management is a revolving door • Middle management is out to lunch • All management uses dishonesty and fear to lead • As ICs shore up their self-respect, they leave, causing a brain drain
