Pluspunten

There are a lot of very smart, talented, and nice people at Adobe. The culture (in the SF office at least) is very laid back and creative. The digital marketing side of the business is growing and has a lot of promise.

Minpunten

The company is very risk averse and generally tends to be reactive (often years later) to industry trends rather than proactive. Additionally, management no longer focuses on doing what is best for the customer, and instead looks at what's best for Adobe (short-term thinking, in my opinion). There are many brilliant people, but complacency and resistance to change are a big problem. Additionally, in company meetings the CEO talks to employees as though they're the press, doling out bland corporate-speak rather than being forthcoming or genuine. An inspiring leader, he is not.

Pluspunten

* Refreshing focus on employee wellness * Brilliant colleagues * Compelling problems on interesting tools * Good work/life balance culture... generally (see cons) I've been at a few big tech companies and Adobe is one of my favorites. I feel empowered to make impactful changes here, I'm constantly stretching myself in fun ways, and the products we make are incredible. Product and engineering have big dreams, and all the resources we need to realize them.

Minpunten

* Big time crunch culture around arbitrary goals By far my biggest disappointment has been just how hard product pushes on big projects with arbitrary deadlines and difficult scope. It turns into cutting corners and delivering sub-par experiences even though we absolutely have the talent and capability to make some exceptional things if we just let the dang thing bake a few more months. I'd be more impressed with the tight clip if the goals were reasonable for good business reasons, but as far as I can tell the reason usually boils down to "some high-level manager wanted X and thought Y sounded like a good target date". * Comp growth leaves something to be desired. Raises feel pretty flat, though it's not the worst thing since stock rewards can be pretty good as appropriate for performance. Career progression is pretty good here too - I just find it odd how stale the base pay increases are year to year.
