I am starting to think Chinese interviewers currently fail non-Chinese candidates on purpose.

Modi is the worst dictator!
At Google now, *not unhappy* but wondering if grass could be greener somewhere else. Currently almost 5 years at Google, L4 with path to L5 next year. Also wondering if it's just time for a change, but I'm very comfortable at G. What's it like working at Adobe compared to Google? I have pretty good WLB now, work from office 3-4 days a week (by choice). How are Adobe's perks and benefits, the total comp (bonus/refreshers?), anything else I should know? TC: 230k non-tech #
We told him to stick to G
Never worked at Google, but was a longtime Softie and am now 1.5 years into Adobe. The good: it's a really good company overall. Good work/life balance. CEO isn't a psycho. Good pay if you don't start your career here (MS was the same way). They seem to recognize talent. Bad: I'm in sales, and internal selling is far more involved than any company I've ever been with. Doc Cloud and creative Cloud have real competitors for the first time in ages/ever, and the company clearly isn't comfortable with this. They're not used to having to compete. Not hugely concerning, nor surprising, but somewhat curious. Overall, i recommend it.
Competitors who?
Acrobat Sign: challenger product. DuS is incumbent, viable alternatives with hello sign, Box's sign offering, even Acrobat in VIP does many of the basics clients need for many workloads. Acrobat: seeing more and more threats, some losses to foxit Creative Cloud: Canva is making huge inroads in EDU, which is the exact playbook Google used to knock Microsoft out of IW lead 15 years ago. None of these are particularly concerning. Adobe has viable strategic levers to overcome each. But it's clear product leadership isn't used to this. Coming from MS, competition was table stakes, and part of every conversation. Adobe is still building that muscle. Thus far, i have confidence they'll get there.
Do you have an offer? This post is useless otherwise.
You sound angry. This post can help others who are wondering the same thing. Also, would you interview for a company if you knew it wasn't going to be a fit? Saves time for both sides.
I’m not angry, I just think there’s about 100 steps you need to go through such as finding an open headcount, applying, passing the interview, seeing the TC, etc. before seeing if you should work at a company.
Go ahead and interview. See if you hit it off with the Adobe folks. An interview is 2-directions. You should be examining them and asking questions.
Work like balance depends on org, don’t assume
Totally agreed !!
WLB depends on where you work but I still think the worse I’ve seen here is better than the worse I’ve seen at other big tech companies. Overall, I really like working at Adobe. I don’t see myself leaving anytime soon. Benefits aren’t going to be the same but the stock is actually worth something.
If you’re feeling stuck, Always good to get out of your comfort zone try new things
At Google, you are just unhappy but At Adobe, you would be poor and unhappy. Chose wisely.
Do you love working at adobe?
This is the best answer. Adobe is full of politics and toxicity. Don’t be fooled about best employer bullshit Adobe has been bragging about. Adobe is lagging way behind in terms of culture, pay, benefits and tech stack.
Didn't you post this same thing a few days ago?
Maybe he was unhappy with the replies he got
As if he's gonna get any different replies now. lol
