Pros

- If you work in a team that focuses on one product, you may enjoy working here. - Great place to work if you want to wait it out until retirement. - Moves very slow, so plenty of time to be spent at home with family.

Cons

- No action on workplace harassment. - It moves so slowly at Adobe that they allow aggressive harassment to continue for years without action. - While the HR team is receptive, the management team will not report harassment as required. - Management team only serves up, never down. - Working there feels like 1995. - They have no competition and they make so much money that there is no desire for change.

Pros

Adobe as a company is great. Direct line managers are great.

Cons

If you want to get a great education and learn a lot Join the Inside sales department. You'll learn how to take a outstanding Department and run it into the ground in less than 4 months. You'll learn exactly how not to lead and motivate people, You'll learn how to ignore people and only rely on data. You'll learn how to take a simple successful system and over complicate it with busy work and pointless validations. You'll learn how to forget about the customer and doing what is best for them. You'll learn how to create an environment with no path to success. You'll learn how to talk out of both sides of your mouth. I am so thankful for this experience for now I know exactly what not to look for in my next company and how to not lead.

Pros

Adobe Brand Benefits Good products Vacations Good technology

Cons

Magento team is extremely unethical and toxic. They hire outside talent to help them, but they don't have ability to listen new ideas and proven approaches from industry. Leadership is unethical, play dirty politics, break promises, lie frequently, play favoritism due to various biases. Seen people there leading engineering teams who has never coded in life, cannot understand complex design discussions and problems but still played their way to higher ranks. It doesn't matter what you know and can do, but it matter who you play with better. They don't realize that these non technical politically correct people are easily replaceable but not hard working engineers with proven industry experience. I have seen more than few people left under extreme depression due to all these politics and toxic culture. Sad part is that even after escalations to higher management by multiple peoole, they didn't do much. If someone looking for a growth within a company, instead of helping, they are cutting people who are not 100% agreeing with their approach, they need yes man without ability to challenge the status quo. Even though they have failed strategy for many years now within Magento. They are truly working like an organized gang of people who know each other previously, anyone else coming from outside with high potential is seen as threat to their insecure minds.
