Good and exciting technology, marketing management poor

Pros

Good technology, exciting products, smart engineers

Cons

Some marketing departments are micromanaged to the point where people are afraid to speak up. You cannot run an organization based on fear. When every email and every webpage needs to be reviewed and approved by upper management you have an organization that is not empowered. People not valued do the bare minimum to get by. Communication in some departments is sorely lacking.

Great people - really poor management

Pros

Great products with very loyal customer base. Above average salaries and benefits with good work life balance. Fun, creative people all around you.

Cons

People management skills within senior management. The HR team are constantly talking about how important people management is to Adobe as a company and yet do nothing to enforce it. There are people in very senior positions who are renowned around the company for terrible people management skills and yet no one does anything about it. Adobe is a good company but really could be a great company if this was addressed. There are a large number of very talented people there who are completely demotivated by the attitude of some of the senior staff members. No personal recognition EVER - just pressure.
