Pluspunten

Great Digital Marketing suite concept, smart positioning. Huge potential. Meet great talent on the field. Good compensation package.

Minpunten

Many political conflict, some manager are just pure politicians. Requirement to communicate about what you are doing permanently, appearances are key. Mass of reporting task, internal pressure and few resources compared to other comparable software vendor organization in Europe. Many silos. It’s difficult to build long-term relationships with customers. The management do not want to hear anything out off the revenue achieved over the quarter. The priority is given to sale organization. The top management disregards the rest of the organizations on the field. Fake HR. You can be used as a fuse to save an incompetent manager. Adobe is carbonising a lot of talent over years, weak reward for loyalty and personal commitment. Being a doer is not enough. Environment is better in US.

Pluspunten

- 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

Minpunten

- 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.

Pluspunten

Great opportunity to learn from incredibly smart people, many opportunities to continue education, great for independent workers, not so for entry

Minpunten

Upper management forgets that first line managers need training. You need a thick skin to survive them
