The best job I ever had
The best job I ever had
Adobe is an amazing company to work for, the best in fact. Fantastic products, great employee spirit and energy, and good compensation. I was always proud to tell people I worked at Adobe. When I started, Adobe was a company much like Apple, without certain individuals' egos.
The exposure to different cultures, travel opportunities, and management were all inspirational. During the 2001-2005 period, the stock price and employee stock purchase plan, along with options, were phenomenal. I bought my first townhouse with them!
Post-Macromedia merger, things changed dramatically. It was, for all intents and purposes, a reverse takeover, which was a very bad thing. For all intents and purposes, we were beating Macromedia. We were more profitable and had much better people, but for some reason, Macromedia management was placed in key roles and put their own people in charge. This was a slap in the face for long-time Adobe staff. In many ways, we lost some of that culture and took on Macromedia's, which was not as friendly.
Keep Adobe fun... always.
