Pros

Good, growing company. There's a lot of room for growth still. Adobe is strongly poised to benefit from the wave of next-generation Web applications and services. One of the biggest advantages that Adobe has is its strong track-record of tapping trends and making them work to its own benefit. I would see the company as a front-runner as the world gears up to make the shift from shrink-wrapped applications to Web 2.0, Web 3.0 and so forth. The Macromedia acquisition has given Adobe a strong headstart and the management is competent enough to carry the momentum forth.

Cons

Long hours and challenging timelines.

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.
