Pros

Adobe is the most beautiful fools gold I have ever experienced. They poached me and many others I know from stable positions at other companies. Threw money at us to be on a team that was constant chaos and dysfunction. Only to lay off everyone SIX MONTHS later. Run. Don’t walk away from this nightmare. Unless you are a good ole boy fresh out of college. They love them. Salary was amazing but to be without a job wasn’t worth leaving a stable mid-range level position at another company.

Cons

Everything. When you think of Adobe, you think of photoshop and illustrator as well as tech and stability. They don’t want us talking about it, but they are internally very cishet WHITE Mormon male focused. If you do not fit this or agree with their values, you WILL be removed. I have seen it time and time again. I have heard that the managers are secretly pretty discriminatory towards people of color and lgbt. The people of color in management positions are few and far between. If there is one, like one of the directors in mid-market, they are tap dancing for said cishet folks above them. Not progressive as they make it seem.

Pros

Work with a great team of individuals FTE's and Contracters. They have great benefits and unlimited PTO

Cons

It's a scary time with AI and tech layoffs. Not much room for growth being remote.

Pros

Pay, Benefits, etc. All the things that they do to keep people around.

Cons

Very siloed and difficult to get help or clarity on anything. Important emails go unanswered, crucial stakeholders required for meetings are frequently double booked, processes take weeks instead of days, and every time I try to get something done I encounter multiple unnecessary blockers, usually due to a breakdown of communication across teams. Enormous, bloated company, leaders don't want to make decisions so they just kick the can to another team. Too many different sites across timezones slows everything down. The back to office policy is ridiculous, unnecessary, and unevenly applied and we get no guidance during major storms or global events. And despite being a software company, our 3P software is dated and inefficient.
