Adobe has also built and marketed generative AI features such as Adobe Firefly across creative workflows. Adobe is headquartered in San Jose, California and operates globally.

Locations and presence

Adobe offers multiple clear entry routes, from internships across functions to university graduate roles, and Adobe backs that up with visible intern programming and a structured hiring-process outline. Pay range visibility is better than many large tech employers, and Adobe Digital Academy publishes unusually specific retention and promotion outcomes. The biggest gap is that Adobe does not publish consistent, company-wide outcomes for internships and new-grad hiring, such as conversion rates and typical time-to-promotion.
