Adobe Reviews

Current Employee – been working at Adobe full-time for more than a year

Pros – Great brand , fantastic engineering team , amazing benefits that include 5 weeks of vacation plus 2 weeks of sick time , sabbatical after 5 years

Cons – Zero career path , only talk but no serious thought to developing career , lack of communication to all levels for a company of this size

Advice to Senior Management – Focus on having a defined career path for your people . Titles needed to be reconsidered given the kind of strategic work we do . No career growth whatsoever . Look for more ways to engage and motivate your employees . Easy way is to at least see other companies in your space and replicate .

Current Employee – been working at Adobe full-time for more than 7 years

Pros – Professional environment; smart hard-working coworkers; projects are very interesting and well-run for the most part; facilities are amazing; upper management has vision; the food is really good; employees are treated well with awesome benefits and two shutdowns per year; proud of my employer for being environmentally and socially conscious.

Cons – Not always enough people resources to get the job done effectively. To create a quality product, I'd have to work around the clock, so I have to make decisions about quality or completeness that I would rather not have to make.

Advice to Senior Management – I understand why management makes the decisions they make. I trust that the big picture makes sense. I just don't like it from my perspective, down here at the ground level.

Cons – Very high expectation to perform, which is not entirely a bad thing, but can infringe on personal life at times. Typical communication problems of a large company exist, such as finding the right person to assist with a particular issue or project.

Current Employee – been working at Adobe full-time for more than 7 years

Pros – Adobe is managed very well by the executive team. They take very good care of their employees. The pay and benefits are good. The work environment is very nice with beautiful art all around the buildings.

Cons – Adobe has layoffs almost every November which creates company-wide anxiety for several months each year. They do provide respectful layoff packages though.

Advice to Senior Management – The constant layoffs followed by huge hiring spurts really hurts employee moral and productivity. Curb the hiring and require managers to effectively manage their employees.
