Company Culture
What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
Compared to my friends, Adobe has such a nice culture. In my opinion, I've found it to be very laid-back in culture, you're provided with all the opportunities you could want and it's up to you to deliver on them and ask for help - which is always there, you just need to ask. The office atmosphere is very good. Constant events and opportunities to meet people, at the moment we've got lots of PRIDE events going on and there's usually a celebration for evey major cultural festival.

Overall Experience
To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
I really enjoyed my placement. It was an incredible opportunity to develop new skills. I come from an unrelated degree discipline, so it was a really nice opportunity to develop new skills which I really enjoyed. The socials provided by the university talent team provided a great opportunity to develop friendships which made the placement even better. Definitely made some life-long friends (and connections).

Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Adobe to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to Adobe
Try to understand the differences between Adobe Digital Experience and Digital Media, as well as the licenses vs professional services and customer success. Some of the feedback I got from my interview when applying to professional services was my ability to differentiate between Adobe licenses and professional services.
