Consulting is a tough branch to navigate
UX/UI Designer (Former Employee) – Ronkonkoma, NY – November 14, 2018
There was an overemphasis on billable hours which were controlled by sales. The culture changed over the years from a customer first to a demand to bill hours. There was a disconnect between new management and the philosophy we followed.
Pros
Work from home, flexible hours, ample vacation time, dedicated professional and personable coworkers.
Cons
Unclear path for advancement, unfocused management, this caused an anxiety riddled work environment.
Great Place to Work
Senior License Management Consultant (Former Employee) – New South Wales – January 16, 2019
Adobe is great balance between the stability of an established business, and a progressive, forward thinking tech startup. I was trusted to be entrepreneurial, and rewarded for being successful. There are still a few old school processes in place, but the vision of the company is very on point with the current state of the industry.
i got along with all the staff

Great Place to Work
Senior Financial Analyst, MBA Intern (Former Employee) – Lehi, UT – January 8, 2019
Adobe's a great company because of their benefits, culture, business model, CEO, and people. Most of the locations are state of the art, with excellent cafeterias, gyms, and other on-site benefits. Adobe's financial performance is hard to duplicate. They've achieved double-digit growth for 3+ years, which is difficult for a company of their size and age. Most of this growth is due to Adobe's migration to the saas model which, while controversial at the time, has allowed them to considerably increase their revenues, especially within creative cloud. I would strongly suggest working for Adobe.
Adobe has amazing products and full time employees are ver happy.
Technical Marketing Manager (Former Employee) – San Jose, CA – January 5, 2019
No dedicated training which placed hardships to employees that had never trained or onboarding due to their own deadlines that impacted my training.
Contractors are treated as second class citizens. All contractors are not provided a dedicated workspace which forced us to compete with other contractors that had no dedicated workspace. This caused animosity between contractors Because I would show up very early.
Dedicated workspaces were only asigned to full time employees, where there were an abundance of but not allowed to use forcing users to do complex tasks on a tiny laptop screen. Of course I just go with the flow. I found this very unusual for Fortune 100 best place to Work.

Great company with great people - easy to become complacent

Flat organization structure with limited upward mobility. Hire from outside to preserve headcount. Unaware of the internal talent pool or background beyond immediate role so many are overlooked once in a position
Pros
great people, growth, market leader, benefits
Cons
no career path, performance based measurement with no appreciation for unique contribution, ver y few opportunities to do something new inside company

Program Manager (Former Employee) – San Jose, CA – December 13, 2018
Great place to work but beware if you are a contractor then you will be the outcast. FTE's do not eat lunch with you and they look down on you like you are not good enough to be a FTE

lack of conversion

Software Engineer Intern (Former Employee) – Lehi, UT – November 15, 2018
People there really care about making a difference in the lives of their customers, coworkers and the community. They look for ways to drive innovation.

They may be too big to avoid some of the bureaucracy.

Your manager is everything
Sales (Former Employee) – Remote – October 23, 2018
Adobe is an amazing place to work, but who your manager is can mean everything. If you have a good one they can put you on an amazing career path, if you have a bad one, then you can find yourself stalled indefinitely.

Amazing culture - Contract to full time job security is limited
Business Systems Analyst / eComm & Product Launch (Current Employee) – San Francisco, CA – October 9, 2018
I greatly enjoyed my time at Adobe. My position was on a contract-to-hire basis and, sadly, the budget did not allow for conversion to full time when my contract was up.

I only can comment on Adobe as they were in the late 90's
Human Resources Assistant (Former Employee) – Freemont, WA – October 1, 2018
I started as a vendor in Customer Service then was hired as a full-time employee as an Administrative Assistant in HR.
They sent me to San Jose for training on posting jobs on their internal and external career sites. I also supported the HR Director at the time. I was there when they moved their offices to Freemont and then was part of a large layoff a few months later.

PMO Lead / DTL/ Principal Program Manager (Former Employee) – McLean – September 25, 2018
Enjoyed my time with Adobe, LOTS of options and opportunities for this growing software company. Have to remember that it is NOT a services business and professional services exists to drive license sales.
Adobe Cares
Licensing Specialist (Current Employee) – Lehi, UT – August 21, 2018
Everything that Adobe does says that it cares about it's employees. Even contract workers are able to participate in the corporate culture and are allowed to take advantage of some of some benefits.
The environment makes the company a great place to work overall, and the work always keeps you on your toes.
