Nothing, Adobe is full of Politics

Dislikes

..."Good morning", "Good afternoon", "Good evening", and if possible, "Good night". Remarkably these actions, more than actual job performance, are touted as the key to promotion and a substantial salary increase. It's noteworthy that mastering office politics, engaging in backbiting, and merely being present take precedence over task accomplishment.

Dislikes

...eadership team, should first go through stringent assessment before onboarded. Compensation/onboarding process wise, Adobe stands average/poor. Talent acquisition team are in their own universe while speaking with candidates; less experienced about the requirement background and many times convey wrong impression about position. Performance revisions are alway below expectation; no valid reason shared for lower revisions etc. Health insurance package is below standard. I had better experience/facilities in my previous organisation about health/insurance; where they took care of everything. While at Adobe the HR team will connect you to the insurance representative and assume their job is done!
