Pros

The company as a whole is very good about keeping the toxicity common to large corporations at a minimum. Because of its heritage as a software engineering company more than what's considered a "tech company" today, there's a very healthy engineering culture with a relatively low level of meddling by upper and middle management in most parts of the company. Employee benefits are very strong and the company is excellent at integrating a remote and geo-diverse workforce, even prior to the pandemic. The headquarters facility is well-run and facility staff (from building operations to kitchens to security and safety) are fantastic. Incredibly smart people work here and for the most part embody the company's stated value of bringing their genuine selves to work.

Cons

Compensation and growth opportunity is not commensurate with the company's stated aims for employees. After a decade of record-breaking years, employee compensation rises quite modestly. The engineering heritage of the company is eroding a bit. Offices with doors that close and allow engineers to think about problems and solve them were torn out and replaced with open plan spaces that are noisy, busy, and unproductive. Reorgs are increasing in frequency -- something of a red flag -- and often disruptive.

Pros

It was exciting as a Workfront employee to be acquired by Adobe. Benefits have been above average, time off is great, competitive pay, work life balance, flexibility during Covid.. all of the perks you'd expect from such a large tech company.

Cons

The acquisition has exposed incredibly large culture problems that Workfront, and seemingly, Adobe leadership, refuses to respond to. If I had to give it one word for how women or minorities are treated, I'd say, toxic. Supposedly Adobe is this incredible company that is great for minorities and women, but they have done a terrible job onboarding the Workfront team to these values. If you submit a case with the ERC (a system in place to "help" employees) you're given the run around for MONTHS, with little to no solution. If you want to work with a bunch of entitled men, that regurgitate what you say back to you, then this is the place for you. Want to be told to "find a different job" if you bring up issues to leadership? Come to Workfront Adobe. Want to be talked down to and left out of meetings that pertain to you or your work? Come to Workfront Adobe. I could continue, but I think you get the idea. How companies like this keep winning awards for being advocates for diversity, I have no idea.
