About the company

Adobe

Company overview
Adobe is a software company best known for Creative Cloud products like Photoshop, Illustrator, and Premiere Pro, plus Document Cloud (Acrobat) and Experience Cloud for marketing, analytics, and commerce. Adobe sells subscriptions to individuals, teams, enterprises, and public-sector organisations. 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

Palpable Score

/ 100
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.
