      Divorcing Adobe

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - lots of time off and flex time, work at home - free drinks and snacks - sabbatical every 5 years - ESPP better than other companies

      Cons

      Adobe has changed a lot, keep disappointing me and lying to me. Stopped paying quarterly profit sharing(that was a part of my income) and pay more to CEO, more and more off share, layoff US workers every year, politics and going more toward top-down. Coworkers only thinking about their job security. No passion to work.

      Adobe needs to worry about employees and products, not wall street

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great co-workers. Work-life balance is better than most other companies. Adobe's doing exciting things--if we succeed, we'll have a huge, positive impact on how others do their work.

      Cons

      Adobe still isn't a bad place to work, but from the employee perspective, it definitely seems to be on the decline. With layoffs, cost-cutting measures by removing time off and benefits, morale on most teams is really low. Management seems more worried about appeasing Wall Street than running a successful, impactful business where employees are happy and excited.

      A once great company - No longer innovative or employee-friendly, but still a leader.

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great products, smart colleagues, generous benefits (health, 401K matching, sabbatical, time off at managers' discretion - this is good if you have an understanding manager), flexible telecommuting program, a friendly, collaborative team atmosphere, pretty buildings with nice offices with doors you can shut, good corporate citizen.

      Cons

      Limited opportunity for advancement or professional growth. Middle management weak and scared. Too many turf wars. Powerful been-there-forever cliques. Reporting structure lame, it allows family members and romantic relationships to report to one another .Sending too many jobs to India and China, Difficult communication as teams are split up among US, India, China which weakens collaborative efforts, Annual layoffs each year ruin morale.
