Adobe

Employees say:

"I take great pride in being part of this company. Over my 8 years here, I've been drawn to its values and culture, which align closely with mine. Adobe exemplifies a human approach to leadership, resulting in increased productivity, employee satisfaction, and an enviable culture. Over my tenure, I feel like I continue to be challenged and grow my career, but I also feel supported and appreciated. I firmly believe that when employees feel supported, they can excel in their work. Adobe's incorporation of a wellbeing mindset into its leadership approach sets it apart from competitors and makes it a desirable place to work."

Employees say: "In my nine-plus years at Adobe, I feel there's a genuine [feeling among] employees—top management connect on the organization's vision and execution strategy, and everyone is aligned to work together and push our organization to greater heights every year."

Employees say:

"This is a great place to work for parents. As I welcome my first newborn, I am very appreciative of the benefits and support I receive from my employer and colleagues."

Employees say:

"Working at Adobe is more than just a job; it's an experience filled with purpose. I find satisfaction in knowing that my contributions makes significant impact. The culture here fosters creativity and collaboration, making it truly enjoyable to be a part of the team."

Employees say: 

"The culture is fantastic. I used to think “culture” was just a mythical word used by recruiters. Adobe fosters a sense of respect, kindness, and integrity. Employees stick around here for a long time." 

Adobe is a leading force in imagining the future of hybrid work: Its Lab82 internal experimentation engine, which started as a physical space at the company’s San Jose headquarters, has become a locus for researching the ways Adobe employees work. Setting aside resources for analyzing remote work has resulted in new strategies to more effectively integrate in-person and remote staff, including designated meeting facilitators and “stretch breaks” for well-being. 

Saving resources—both internally and for clients—has emerged as a big priority for Adobe. It’s partnered with the Environmental Defense Fund and the Environmental Paper Network to create a tool that helps businesses make their operations more sustainable.  

And in-house, Adobe has already met its 2025 Scope 1, Scope 2, and business travel emissions targets. Its Founders Tower office opened in January 2023, the first all-electric building of its scale powered by 100% renewable energy in Silicon Valley. Adobe expects to reach its 2035 climate targets by next year, a big step toward its goal of achieving net zero by 2050.

• While Bloomberg reported Adobe had laid off 100 salespeople in 2022, CFO Dan Durn told Fortune’s Sheryl Estrada in March 2023 that the company had no plans for widespread layoffs.


• Adobe prioritizes staff well-being through a reimbursement program of up to $600 annually for employees and their immediate family members to cover expenses for a variety of wellness activities, from gym memberships and classes to athletic gear like running shoes or fitness-focused tech.


• Adobe invests in talent internally through Adobe Leadership Circles, where top women employees are paired with executive and peer coaches for development opportunities. In 2022, the program’s 10th year, 850 women participated worldwide.


• “I appreciate knowing that I will be respected and treated well regardless of a given hierarchy or reporting chain,” one Adobe employee notes, adding that there is a high level of investment in staff. “They ‘walk the talk,’ so to speak, which I appreciate.”
