      Adobe cares - middle mgt- not so much

      Senior marketing manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I came over with the Workfront acquisition. I was excited to be part of this wonderful, well-known, beloved brand. The benefits are amazing. Lots of work life balance, healthcare is great, there’s a nutritionist on staff, tons of unheard of added perks...all top notch. Adobe executive leadership truly cares and has put a lot of thought and research into making Adobe a great place to work. But there’s a gap....

      Cons

      After several weeks of onboarding and participating in discovery meetings, it was clear that Adobe VPs and “heads of x” weren’t carrying the culture created by executive leadership down and through to the individual contributors. There is also a significant amount of unhappiness within the DX marketing org. Apparently there was a re-org last fall, and few understand their job and those that do, aren’t happy in their new roles. They openly admit they’re not sure how to integrate Workfront resources and because of that, they are pausing on spending time learning until they have to. Layer on top of that no clear direction from Workfront marketing leadership on new messaging and themes. It takes forever to get anything approved by Adobe. All of this creates doubt about the future. Without clear direction and lack of culture, me and many others jumped ship.

      Getting worse

      Senior consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good fellow employees. Buildings are nice.

      Cons

      Management provides little insight into reviews. Pay starts competitive, but no effort is made to keep pay competitive over time. Work goes unappreciated. You have to self-promote to get anywhere. If you can't self-promote then you'll be in a dreaded job. IC work is often presented as work done by management team.

      Limited Advancement for Experienced (Older)/Minorities/Women at Adobe

      Senior partner program manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great salary and benefits package

      Cons

      * Limited Opportunities for Advancement: Promotions seem to favor a specific demographic regardless of actual performance. This creates a barrier for anyone above the age of 50, minorities and women seeking career growth. * Lack of Accountability: Some employees excel at managing upwards while contributing minimally. Their close relationships with management shield them from consequences. * Dismissive Culture: Openly addressing under performers can be misconstrued as negativity, while genuine concerns are sometimes disregarded. This can be frustrating for those who value a meritocratic work environment. * Innovation Stifled: Investment in cutting-edge solutions to expand Adobe’s product offerings seems to lack a strong follow-through on innovation. These acquired solutions often become outdated due to a lack of investment, hindering their potential.
