Pros

Culture: most people who work there are kind, genuine, collaborative Benefits: very flexible in terms of hours/location, great for parents with kids Comp: reasonably good pay (but lower than FAANG)

Cons

Slow, bureaucratic The company isn't doing super well, which causes panic among execs, and frequently shifting priorities that trickles down to everyone Limited autonomy, agency, ownership for anyone below VP-level Not innovative, slow to adopt AI internally Promotions feel pretty arbitrary and based on internal politics, doesn't seem to be merit based Teams are quite territorial

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.
