What are pay raises like at Adobe?

Can be fully remote, has unlimited PTO, is respectful of work-life balance, and has opportunities to advance in work.

As a contractor, any time off is UNPAID, including holidays and wellness days. You also don't get any benefits such as stock, Adobe swag discounts, Adobe CC subscription discounts, and need to pay for gym membership. Additionally, you're expected to show up for team bonding events but travel and other expenses aren't covered. I also was unlucky with management: current manager is extremely micro-managey, and dangled the opportunity for full-time conversion as if it was a carrot in my face. They also used it to push me to work harder, beyond what the original role responsibilities were. I did content writing, took on content strategy, and was not given a pay raise after two years of working with them. Additionally, everyone else in upper-management is extremely entitled. We're talking about taking unlimited PTO multiple times a month, taking forever to respond to Slack messages, especially when their approval is needed for any content publishing. Sometimes, they don't even respond. When escalated, you're given backlash in a millennial attitude.

Great place to work, handle employees well

Salary increment are average, increments should be based on performance not companies fixed budget

Liked people and culture of US and UK&I region. Didn't work directly with other regions, so cannot compare to other regions.

As a freelancer, there was no chance to discuss a salary raise. The rate has been frozen for years and it discouraged the entire team members. Plus, ironically my team leadership didn't understand the cultural and regional resource differences even though the team was dedicated to it. But all the other colleagues I worked with were very professional and nice.

Love some of my co-workers. Benefits and time off generous.

Hard to get promoted/not common. Minimal pay raises. Easy to get pigeon holed or stagnate in one job. Recently, a wave of anxiety about keeping up in the AI market has led to lots of panicked hiring, firing, and questionable/toxic behavior on the marketing side (top-down).

Good brand manager driven org culture

Average salary, sometimes they change targets after you meet them , and dont pay the commissions that you would have earned

Work Culture Office Environment, Amenities Funds for personal interests

Manager is all say. HR not involved much. If you get a bad and in competent manager then you will have a bad experience. Less import teams have politics and fight over work and survival Raise is not good Depleting stock

food, flexibility of hybrid, low pressure

low salary, no growth, poor hike

Good benefits great offices good work life balance

Less salary hikes otherwise good

Good WLB depending on organisation New Office If you get stocks at a minimum, the compensation is also good

Stocks went down a lot Extremely low raises Very hard to get stock refresh, need to be top 10%

People-centric, really thoughtful company. culture was brilliant and tons of employee benefits.

Certain functions had really low salary and stagnation after a point.
