Adobe reviews

Week-long company shutdowns in July and at Christmas could be even longer ;)

Bad management: 100% focus on objectives & bonuses, not taking any risk at raising issues they aware of to the higher management Company focused on North America & India for investments: don't expect to get the same investments globally in every regions. The strategy is to keep NA employees (usually managers & highly qualified engineers) happy and have as much employees in India as possible (they are cheap). Investment are made in these 2 regions. Elsewhere, you have to part of Sales organisation to get some investments. Enablement is almost inexistant if you're not part of Sales related organisations or management. Career development (at least in EMEA) is just as simple and annoying as being an external person applying for a job at Adobe. No rotation to have taste of other positions, If you want to try another position you have to apply and get interviewed exactly as any external applicant. Being already from Adobe won't help. Except if you already work with the product covered by the job. There is no allocated budget per teams/heads. Senior Management decide who gets what on request and if they have not use most of the budget for themselves. The company made a lot of profits over the past 4-5 years, but I personally didn't notice any change at work. Really feels like the 20%/80% rule: 20% of the people getting/having 80% of the resources.
