Adobe Reviews

I have been working at Adobe full-time

Pros – Generous benefits, competitive salaries, great work atmosphere, cool technologies

Cons – Lots of hours, and concerns of layoff if economy is not doing well

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

I worked at Adobe as an intern

Pros – Location of the office and the amenities are awesome.

Cons – Most of the work is involved in working around old projects that are the cash cows of the company. It hampers rapid new development. Also, the new trend of reaching the masses instead of satisfying the needs of just large organizations should also be looked into. It is important for the growth and recognition of the company in my opinion.

Pros – great work life balance, only work 40 hours a week, great benefits, lots of great perks (free cal train pass, basketball court in SJ office, free onsite gym in SJ), get your own office in SJ

Cons – slow to change, too many processes sometimes to get things done (could save a week worths of time if some processes were not in place), sometimes have to work with teams in different time zones (in my opinion lots of wasted time and less productive)

Advice to Senior Management – promote people according to their work and not because they know upper management. Listen to your employees ideas and give them a chance to work on them.
