How is Adobe in terms of reputation and prestige for MLE?

I got a P40 offer from Adobe working on some ML-related problems in AEP. The pay is decent. However, I do wonder how it will be seen on my resume.

I am from a mid-size social media company (think of Reddit, Pinterest, Snap, LinkedIn, etc.), so I can shoot for FAANG if I'd like. However, I wonder if I decide to go to Adobe first and then FAANG a few years later, will a stint at Adobe on my resume hurt the optics? I don't care about "prestige" per se but I do wonder how it will be seen from a recruiter or HM's perspective. Worry about potential bias. Thank you!

    I'm not at adobe but from what I've seen from Adobe's job postings there's tons of scope for ML at adobe. Especially with genAI they're really focused on productionizing some genAI stuff for image editing (the firefly team)

    I definitely don't think Adobe will hurt you as a company.

    I don't know much about its ML/AI reputation (I imagine there's a ton of scope there as Adobe is a huge company), but overall, Adobe is a very reputable company with decades of history and tons of great engineers. That being said, I think most would consider it a half-rung or full-rung below FAANG.

    If the offer's good, the team seems supportive, and you aren't too satisfied in your current role, you could go. It is hard to give concrete advice without more details on the offer and how things are going at your job right now.

    Best of luck!
