Adobe Compensation Employee Reviews

What is the best part about your compensation package?

It gives good coverages, but has room for improvement. The wellbeing stipend is nice.

Review from Admin Dept

I was able to negotiate a little since I came from Google where the comp package is really hard to beat (20% bonus, RSU refresh, merit salary increase)

Review from Marketing Dept

Bonus structure is good amd competitive.

Review from IT Dept

The Stock options and the level of compensation

Review from Customer Success Dept

Wellness Reimbursement and Education Reimbursement

Review from HR Dept

ESPP and wellness reimbursement! They are great!

Review from Engineering Dept

The best part is the base salary

Review from Engineering Dept

High base & variable compensation

Review from Sales Dept

solid base salary with money to still be made

Review from Sales Dept

Time off to recharge, educational support and funding, commitment to social responsibility and support of nonprofits

Review from HR Dept

The RSUs you get when you start. It makes you care about the company

Review from Legal Dept

Really all of it, but I like the OTE.

Review from Sales Dept

The RSUs, and wellness fund.

Review from Engineering Dept

Wellness reimbursement so I can focus on my health and do what makes me happy outside of work, like hot yoga and skiing!

Review from Sales Dept

stock options are always a good incentive

Review from Design Dept

competitive salary and bonus opportunity

Review from IT Dept

I like the health benefits although my dentist is out of network. I also like the RSU's I was granted.

Review from Sales Dept

It's a complete package that fairly compensates while providing a broad range of other benefits that help with work-life balance and focus on well-being.

Review from Sales Dept

The two weeks of company shut down in summer and winter and the sabbatical program.

Review from Customer Success Dept

Flexible/hybrid work and health coverage

Review from Design Dept

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

From market comparability there is a room to do a tad better especially on equity side which is easy to do with long term commitment.

Review from Design Dept

The pay for my area is much lower than tech hub pay despite cost of living being similar or higher. I accepted the job because it's the best pay in the area, but not even close to CA or TX.

Review from Product Dept

I feel undervalued because I’ve taken on a new role in addition to my current responsibilities, without a change in title or compensation. A review that reflects this expanded scope w

Review from Product Dept

Paid less of base salary compared to years of experience and value add.

Review from Finance Dept

I'm currently below mid and operate at a much higher level than is expected of me, but leadership has made it clear, we won't be getting promoted anytime soon.

Review from HR Dept

The path to promotion and growth opportunities lacks clarity, with inconsistent standards applied across individuals within the same organization. Pay is below market rate.

Review from Marketing Dept

I've noticed that peers at other companies are compensated much better for less work and stress.

Review from Communications Dept

I give 110% every time, but don't feel recognized for my affords and achievements adequately. I believe my contribution recognition and my compensation are not equal to my male counterparts.

Review from Marketing Dept

Ideas, workarounds, contributions are not heard or taken into account then I'm left cleaning up a mess or reworking. Either pay me more or allow for balance so I can take advantage of the wellbeing benefits

Review from Communications Dept

Pay for performance is not practiced as preached.

Review from HR Dept

Being more aligned with the market once I'm hitting my 4-yr mark and having my compensation match the scope of my work (i.e. increased # of programs, increase in compensation)

Review from HR Dept

I would like RSUs to be higher.

Review from Engineering Dept

The market is paying higher compensation as compared to Adobe

Review from Customer Support Dept

Salary could be better. Especially with the inflation right now

Review from Engineering Dept

If I move to a new company I can make at least 20% more than what I am making now.

Review from Engineering Dept

Many benefits are on actuals, capping internet expense at meager ?700 was cheap enough , then asking for bills every month. Salaries all over industries have exponentially rised. Adobe is far behind in compensation brackets. Real take home

Review from Engineering Dept

My compensation is not keeping up with inflation.

Review from Engineering Dept

My experience and education is not taken into account and I have been hired at a lower level with no clear path to level up.

Review from HR Dept

Market Value for years of experience

Review from HR Dept

There is a compensation philosophy that has gender parity and pay parity but its still a very complex topic and when you look at competitors like Facebook/Apple/Google and Salesforce - Adobe's payscale for existing employees feels below par
