      Best career choice I ever made was joining Adobe

      Mar. 24, 2021 - Senior Solutions Consultant in Toronto, ON

      Pros

      Supportive managers, talented colleagues, friendly work atmosphere, opportunities for skills development and movement within the organization, a caring leadership

      Cons

      I spent several minutes thinking about this - and couldn't come up with anything significant. I will say it is important to define your work-life balance. Set your boundaries, especially important these days when we are all working from home.

      Great Company with Organizational Challenges in Sales

      Apr. 30, 2021 - Sales Engineer in Chicago, IL
      Recommend
      CEO Approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Benefits and corporate policies are awesome. At the corporate level, Adobe really takes care of their employees with financial, mental wellbeing, physical wellbeing, medical, and time off benefits. A culture of inclusion and equality for people of all races, genders, abilities, and disabilities. They have also been amazing in they way that they have handled the COVID-19 pandemic to protect their employees and be compassionate to all in a very difficult time.

      Cons

      The sales organization struggles with organizational complexity and a cutthroat culture that makes it extremely stressful and difficult to achieve a work life balance. Despite all of the benefits listed in the pros, the reality is that working in the sales organization at Adobe is detrimental to mental health and quality of life.

      Pros

      -Excellent Healthcare benefits - Free At home Covid tests -Some cool people you will meet -Free snacks if you are into that -Good base

      Cons

      - Terrible employee morale - If you want to make a lot of $$ in sales, this is NOT for you!! - NEW Product development/ direction- not good -Expected to fly all over the US Pre Covid, not regional territory set up. Complete waste of time. - Way too many employees engaged in deals that do not need to be -Attrition is the #1 reason I'm leaving here. You can never get ahead. You are always behind EVEN when you sell. AND you WILL NOT get paid for what you sell!! Constant commission arguments. -Support is awful, you will not have any. -This is fully an engaged TECH company, it is not driven on SALES. -Work/life balance is NOT good here.

      No growth for internal candidates to develop further

      May 29, 2021 - Customer Success in Lehi, UT
      Recommend
      CEO Approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great benefits, good facilities, good cafe

      Cons

      No growth for internal candidates to develop further, unless you know some one moving internally in the company is difficult. They prefer external candidates as compared to hiring some one within Adobe. The support teams supporting various enterprise products burn the midnight oil working weekends during the summer shutdown, winter shutdown doing an on-call rotation and don't get compensated. The senior management keeps talking about work life balance but when it comes to taking care of employees in a practical way they lack a vision. Other companies like Facebook, Ebay , Cisco who run the 24 hr operations have a dedicated NOC team, thats not the case here in Adobe where the teams are expected to do regular work and support the On call as well. It becomes 18hrs of work a single day very tiring and over whelming.

      Pros

      There is a great work culture, great pay. People are talented as well as helpful. The company atmosphere is very nice

      Cons

      There aren't any such cons of the company. It already has great work culture which automatically induces good work life balance. Only thing is since the company is well established and has multiple levels, to give a new proposal requires a lot of approvals.

      Decent, depending on team

      Pros

      -Competitive Salary -Stellar benefits -Great perks, teams, and facility

      Cons

      -some teams are much more "pedal to the metal" than others. If you are on one of these teams, it can greatly impact work-life balance, which is frustrating when other teams even in the same department do not have the same work-life quality issues.
