      Great company but has transformation challenges

      Account manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      * surrounded by many ambitious, smart, engaged colleagues * forward-looking executives that manage outside perception and stakeholders' expectations well * San Jose, CA HQ & main SF, CA office spaces but not the 2nd & Brannan SF space (too crowded) with poor noise/distraction handling, and not conducive to fostering productivity

      Cons

      * overworked on newly acquired SaaS side of the business - insufficient resources and staff to help manage the day to day business as we focus on driving customer success at the expense of employee burnout * exceptionally high staff turnover in SaaS digital execution and consulting staff, leading to overall account management issues * ineffective and poorly trained middle management that operate as effective individual contributors but have inadequate management skills to supervise and lead business growth among overworked individual contributors

      Freedom

      Program manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I had the freedom to be creative and come up with new ideas. We had major perks and a beautiful building. The location was awesome and underground parking was a plus.

      Cons

      Some really bad managers who were put in that position for political reasons. It made the employee invisible and therefore having no chance of being heard since the upper management only listened to our management who in several cases should not have representing us.

      Great culture

      CEO approval

      Pros

      Adobe has a great ethical culture of delivering mind blowing products while preserving a great balance of life and work. This derives from the founders, Chuck and John, and has been preserved because of their active involvement on the Board and because so many key contributors to this culture Adobe have stayed and not chased other opportunities. . The brand is very powerful worldwide and the pay and benefits are outstanding.

      Cons

      It is inevitable that a culture that does such a great job of preserving work-life balance will have pockets of operations where the pressure to deliver is very intense (sales, radical updates to products such as making it all cloud based). Also, the Omniture acquisition brought in a lot of people who were in the mold of their former CEO Josh James who was selfish and self-promoting and the antithesis of Chuck and John. They are very political and a continuing risk to Adobe's culture.
