Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I support the quarterly budgeting process, with the aim to manage forecasting, planning and reporting of the marketing budget. I work closely with teams across EMEA, APAC and Japan to ensure they are all on point with inputting data as well as spending budget across the quarter. I work heavily with budgeting software's like Power BI and Excel to make the data interpretable for the teams and the senior leaders of strategic decisions.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given a lot of responsibility. My manager certainly pushed me, and as a result I feel highly competent with autonomous tasks and bringing novel process improvements to my organization. I feel many of my projects have created lasting change, I feel wholly responsible for the impact within my role.

Skills Development

Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
A lot of guidance. My manager has been invaluable and I felt like the university talent team within Adobe facilitated a lot of peripheral learning outside of my day to day role. I felt I had a lot of support from the teams I work with, and there was a strong culture where everyone supports everyone.

Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
10/10. I cannot fault the culture and atmosphere whatsoever. I enjoyed coming into the office and seeing my team. The events for interns and employees spared no expense and I felt highly valued.

Overall Experience

To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?

Recommendations & Advice

Would you recommend Adobe to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to Adobe
It is all about marketing your drive to work and your passion for the company. Adobe is value driven, so make sure you align to those in your application and personal standpoint. As a Uni student you have no experience, so it is about expressing your drive to learn and deliver impact in a company you are passionate about.
