Pros

quality of talent, cultural, senior management access, global presence with nearly half of the revenue happening outside the North America, perks, you name it. The facilities are beautiful around the world whether it be in San Francisco, san jose, Paris, Munich, Tokyo, Bucharest, etc. sound business model and diversified portfolio.

Cons

comparatively, wouldn't want to be anywhere else within the technology sector. While i've worked for other market leaders, the clear differentiator for Adobe is it's culture. we are extremely smart people from recent grads to VPs that come with a balance of experience, potential, sense of humor, humility and most importantly make things happen in a motivating way. The pace is superior and requires all to stay on top of his/her game.

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.

Pros

Great opportunity to learn from incredibly smart people, many opportunities to continue education, great for independent workers, not so for entry

Cons

Upper management forgets that first line managers need training. You need a thick skin to survive them
