I have an offer for Adobe as a new grad but I’m hesitant to take it because it’s in San Jose. I know Adobe is known for WLB but is it a great place to start a career in terms of learning and growth?

      OP meant 320 units and not 320k worth of RSUs. 320 units should roughly be 80k/4 yrs , which is not at all great.

    Adobe is a solid company. I am at Apple now and really miss the wlb/company’s culture of Adobe. As far as an opportunity to grow, it depends on the team. Adobe has some good eng teams and decent infra (for some teams). There are some ML and AR opportunities as well. If things don’t work out, having adobe in your resume is not that bad. Many still hop to great companies after adobe.

      I get calls yearly from FB, Microsoft, LinkedIn, and Amazon since starting at Adobe. I would say it's been great on my resume.

      Would it be harder to hop to FB or Amazon if working on creative cloud apps (Photoshop, etc.) since desktop apps versus backend infra like most of FANG? Would think system design would be harder to pass in interview without extra prep.

  • Some teams are really good. I recommend SJ over SF. Lots to learn, you'd notice both good and bad engineering practices.

  • Why not try interviewing with other companies? A top tech company on your resume as a first job would help you in the long run

      OP
      I haven’t had good luck with FAANG, Fb rejected me after applying and same for Google. I had referrals for both and I’ve interned at Yelp and a well known streaming platform.
