Adobe reviews

The change in the time-off policy really hit me hard and in my world, having a safety net of additional salary for a few weeks is valuable but now that's gone. The original system was kind of a rodeo in that not everyone reported their time-off accurately. Now, depending on how well you get along with your manager, you might get anywhere from 1 to 4 weeks of 'additional time off'. Adobe used to be a much more 'exciting' company to work for. There were holiday parties, summer family picnics, employee gifts after blow-out product launches, and a generally fun atmosphere. However, today it's very different as none of those things remain and people just keep their heads down and focused on their work... hoping they don't get caught in the holiday gift-giving tradition of pink slips.

Decision by consensus at times gets in the way of progress. Internal processes suck and get in the way of things from time to time. Career paths can be limited in some roles - recent focus has been to hire from the outside vs. promoting from within.
