Cons

The Adobe Emeryville office.

It's actually not a true Adobe office; it's a Tubemogul company, which is basically an adtech company acquired by Adobe later.

The Ad Cloud of Adobe is not doing well, and hence there's not much focus on quality or any new exciting initiatives. The growth rate is literally slowing down.

Better beware of this company and do not get fooled by the name Adobe.

I got three offers (Adobe, another big Fortune 500 tech, and a startup) and I chose this offer mainly fooled by the brand Adobe, location, benefits, and stocks.

But, after a couple of months joining, I really repented a lot for making the decision as the work or the growth of Adobe's adtech portfolio is literally slowing down, and even their technology stack is not so exciting to work or learn.

Their office space sucks, and it's a damn old building in Emeryville, not like a corporate atmosphere.

If you have multiple offers, better stay away from this Adobe Emeryville office (Adobe Ad Cloud), at least for your own good.

I'm currently out of them, and my experience with them was I just wasted one year of my career with them without learning anything new or exciting to my interest.

Advice to Management

Be clear in your directions. You are heading to before you hire someone. Do not waste the resources.
