Truly a great company

Pros

The people. The people are the best part of Adobe. You will not find this high quality of co-workers at many other places. The benefits are also fantastic. The charitable match is far superior to other large tech companies. The education reimbursement is wonderful.

Cons

Things can sometimes move slow because this is a large company and has bureaucracy, but it isn't worse than other companies of this size and in fact is quite a bit better.

Pros

Great co-workers Company shut down week of July 4th Company shut down between Christmas and New Years

Cons

The many benefits offered by Adobe are to hide a toxic work environment that leads to severe burnout. The reason people tend to stay at this company is not because it's a great place to work, it's because they pay very well, offer ESPP, unlimited PTO (that is hard to use), and decent healthcare. Everyone is overworked, overextended, and exhausted. It's what is expected and not at all recognized or appreciated by leadership. Internal mobility is difficult if you're remote or don't live near certain office locations.
