Adobe Compensation Employee Reviews

What is the best part about your compensation package?

I appreciate the benefits at Adobe.

Review from HR Dept

i am not sure whether it can be considered as compensation package but I think global wellbing days and leave part is the best part of our Comp and Ben.

Review from HR Dept

Industry leading especially wellbeing and financial support on education

Wellbeing, health and learning benefits

Review from HR Dept

Increasing AIP in line with promotion. (ie higher leadership role is higher AIP)

Review from Operations Dept

Compensation package itself is competitive, in addition to other perks such as health insurance and ESPP

Review from HR Dept

Stock options and guaranteed bonus

Review from HR Dept

Good base pay but potential to do better with AIP

Review from Communications Dept

The best part is the bonus percentage.

unlimited paid time off vacation time

Review from Communications Dept

Good salary base + AIP

Review from HR Dept

Oh my goodness, where to start, we have the best benefits from PTO to company wellness and work life balance.

Review from Marketing Dept

The health care benefits are the best part.

Review from Marketing Dept

The best part is RSU.

Stock purchase program, yearly bonus and health and wellbeing fund are great

The pay is comparable to going market rate, the company wellness days and more

Review from Marketing Dept

Good base pay with a strong bonus structure

Review from Operations Dept

Generous PTO (including sabbaticals, well-being days)

Review from HR Dept

The sabbatical program is the best!

Review from HR Dept

Bonus and sabbatical offering are top notch

Review from Marketing Dept

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

Higher compensation given my level of experience

Review from HR Dept

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
