Looks like Adobe has a reputation for toxic culture in other orgs. How's the culture like at Marketo? And what's the WLB like? I have a pretty chill job right now. Don't want to make the mistake of interviewing for a toxic company.
Adobe in overall is toxic and is becoming more toxic over time. I would not consider joining
Skip. Very old tech stack. Lot of maintenance task being lined up.
Currently frontend at marketo. I don’t work very hard at all lol. Very good WLB from my perspective but I don’t know about any other teams. It’s true the stack is ancient and our processes generally kinda suck but I like the people I work with. My team has a lot of “I’m taking half a day of PTO because it’s warm and sunny out” or “I didn’t sleep well last night so I’m sleeping in and missing standup” type of stuff
Atleast teams in our product org under DX are pretty good, don't see any toxic culture. Wlb is also good. Don't believe everything you read online, and for marketo I don't have much idea.
What is DX?
Don’t believe in DX , there are already long thread going on about layoff, pip, toxic team culture specially in DX in blind internal adobe channel. Few things : Adobe doesn’t have culture of exchanging feedback’s. There is no portal , no way an employee can give feedback to upper management. Whatever upper management decide that’s going to happen no matter. Few teams in literally sucks in adobe. They work on weekends too and expect you to do the same. Please research thoroughly via LinkedIn or some mutual connection before joining marketo teams.
In general, Adobe is deteriorating its culture wrt work life balance. Lots of new work coming up with deadlines. If you have a good offer for other place which doesn’t has this issue, feel free to accept else join. People, Tech and Perks at Adobe are all good. (Cant say about WLB)! Or Join us and set up an example for good wlb. 🙂
FYI, Siemens is a german company and culture at siemens will be highly different from Adobe which will make you join late night meetings with US folks. 🥲
Adobe is most toxic place .. Dont kill youself. Be at siemens
Not sure about Marketo but it is true that many orgs have poor WLB and work culture issues.
