Pros

You can get branded workwear, just like at any fast-food or delivery service.

Cons

At first, you'll be in awe if you are an intern or have never worked at a big company, but that fades away quickly. You'll have to spend at least half of your time and resources advocating for your importance. This is nonsense, but that's how it works at Adobe. If you want to make a career, you don't actually need to work; just talk louder, and it will be appreciated and rewarded with seven figures. If you are a talented tech introvert, such people will ride you to burnout and then replace you with fresh blood.

At Adobe, we:

  • Ask employees for complete dedication and then throw them away.
  • Tell them it was a tough year and pocket their rewards.
  • Rig the bought surveys about being the #1 place to work.
  • Respect slackers that talk a lot and disdain people that actually get the work done.

So, if you are coming for experience, you'd better go elsewhere. Adobe is not FAANG and not even close to that. This company has a stigma of a tech laggard, and it will be really hard to find a good job after it in the tech domain.
