Stuck in the past: Total lack of creativity, operational efficiency, and inspiring leaders - Anonymous employee Adobe Employee Review

- Complete lack of creativity (ironically) and innovation: orders come from dinosaurs from the top with very hierarchical processes, most ideas are disconnected from the way digital media works today. The company has missed the boat on so many business opportunities, it's concerning. - Absence of Operational efficiency: bottlenecks everywhere, very heavy unnecessary exhausting bureaucratic processes; this company could not be moving more slowly. Current leadership has struggled for years to try and solve this. The most simple tasks still requires dozens of gate-keepers, making it impossible for any change maker to have any impact. Things go in circle so much cross-functionally, it looks like a complete circus lead by clowns. - Culture of 'doing as little as possible' with no rewards for those trying to get anything done. Talent is very mediocre and people have no incentive to do more or better. - Zero accountability for leaders and manager who fail to deliver on their goals, which is highly uninspiring. Some display really poor toxic behavior (some meetings don't give space for people to talk, some cannot take responsibility for anything or stand up for their team). - No HR support, check-in or processes, which allows very poor behaviors to keep going with no consequences (bullying, lack of diversity and inclusions in certain teams), there was not even an exit interview process for those who leave. Some team don't perform 360 feedback, while others do, which makes things highly unfair. -All of this leads people to be jaded and demoralized, with no trust that things will improve and talent has been massively leaving the company in the last year.
