Pros

You get good growth opportunities and their is good diversity of work and Adobe encourages people to move between roles and expand their skills. It takes lot of care of its employees and make sure they are decently compensated. Adobe gives you opportunity to learn and innovate things. I like the fact that each employee is respected for the skills he brings to his job. You have a great work life balance. You have times when one needs to stretch himself. You have easy access to senior management if you have any issues. I like the fact that Adobe has managers who act as mentors for their reportees.

Cons

At times, people feel Adobe is a laid back that doesn't know how to monetize its tools. PDF and Flash have the highest penetration in the PC world and even then we are not 10% the size of the Redmond company. We need to know how better to monetize our super cool products. Adobe office outside of US don't rub the same culture as that of Adobe US. You need to fly coach class even when you are travelling on US. It hurts to see people from India campuses flying in a coach class for 24-26 hours and then off to work the next day.

Pros

- Awesome culture. I love going to work every day. People are really nice - exciting to be in the industry where a lot of innovation is happening - good work life balance - flexible RTO - two one-week shutdowns per year, unlimited PTO, global wellness days, great benefits

Cons

- Leadership lost its way. Missed huge opportunities in markets served by Canva and GenAI. Took the wrong bet on commercially safe models, missing out on huge opportunities that were captured by competing GenAI models. No clear strategy or vision from management about how to get back in track. Our products are losing market share every day and management seems to be lime deer in headlights, unsure what to do - Watching stock price deflating nearly every day is disheartening - Decision making is very slow. Takes ages to get things approved. - C-suite is mostly over 50 and often seem out of touch with latest AI and tech trends. Uphill battle sometimes to get them to see urgent opportunities that need to be acted on immediately - Adobe failed to organically develop major products in the last 20 years. Major recent ones; Firefly and Express; have not been successful.
