How employees describe working at Adobe

I love my job and have been able to be challenged and grow here

Review from HR Dept

I've been with Adobe almost 9 years, and I hope to still be with this company when it's time to retire. Staying here a long time doesn't mean that the job gets boring. In fact, it's always evolving and bringing new opportunities to learn, and new responsibilities and roles.

Review from Operations Dept

I have been at a couple different tech companies, and Adobe is by far the best. The culture is unique to tech companies and a huge benefit for all that work here.

Q&A With Adobe Employees

Asked to the HR Department at Adobe

  • I felt like my onboarding was amazing. HR sent me a box of swag to get me started thinking about my first day. Then, on my first day they had arranged someone from my department to be my 'ambassador'. They have a Slack channel to respond to all my questions and did a check in with me after I'd been here a couple months to get my feedback. I can't think of anything else they could have done better. Best onboarding ever.

Asked to the Engineering Department at Adobe

  • Programming questions? :) There are several rounds, the first of which is an automated code challenge that has various coding problems. You have to get the tests to pass. Then come in person interview which has white board or pair programming problems (real world feature oriented, not stupid, useless algorithms as some companies do) and cultural questions.

Asked to the Marketing Department at Adobe

  • Cliquish. The CMO is "mercurial" so Department heads are often left chasing their tails trying to figure out how to please and "managing up" leaving little time and patience for department strategies to take hold.

Asked to the Marketing Department at Adobe

  • "Flavor of the month" seems to be the management style. Those who have the spotlight are doing great. Others are bopping along without much enthusiasm. Many "lifers" are extremely change adverse and a culture of "collaboration" is used to cover up the desire to not have to get much done very quickly.
