Pros

Decent salary Free food Decent benefits

Cons

Poor Hikes Unimaginable favourism form hiring till the day to day life. Egotistical management Adobe is a place for which I can clearly say, all that glitters is not gold. Not much innovation at any level. No say of Indian management or employees. Final call is always given from US. During hiring process, somebody’s relative/friend is picked irrespective of how good the other candidates are (observed multiple times in last 5+ years) People who shout get recognition rather than who actually work. You have to keep smiling and always ready for saying yes to every decision. Managers who literally torture their team members, get promoted and no action is taken again such unethical behaviour even after official complaints (have seen atleast 5 such instances and I know names of such people too)

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.
