Adobe folks, what’s the relationship between cloud tech and DX?

I have read about several negative posts on Adobe DX. It looks like a lot of jobs are in cloud tech area and I want to know does it fall into the DX category?

Any team starting with Cloud* works mostly on internal tech stack. Product is not catered to directly. Some of the sub teams are not even SW teams but labelled like that.
Culture is management heavy and cronyism is rampant. ICs are required to be submissive. Hiring, appraisal, even the petty processes like spot awards are rigged and everyone knows about it.
Good if you are done with heavy lifting in life and wants to settle down. Not a place for best talent. A few very good product teams are there in DX who works on actual feature development of the revenue generating product. Aim for those.
If I were you I will talk to my hiring manager very openly. See if I am just a number for them or there is a real excitement and will. I would check his/her technical knowledge and see if he is someone to look up to. I will also stalk on FB/Twitter to see any red flags.
I wish I had done that earlier. I discovered that my director was a fascist red neck from cow belt who was literally liking and sharing “mc/bc posts” on randomly in FB against a certain political party. I was naive back then and overlooked the behaviour.
Yeah, be vigilant. A good manager can be your guide and friend for life. Or someone who feels that his d**k is an inch bigger with addition of one more team member.
