Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I was required to have general Excel skills and operate on this platform daily. I would also occasionally be required to refer to Salesforce and LinkedIn Sales Navigator, though there was more than enough support in setting me up on these platforms.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
At times, the placement felt a little too independent and not as planned out as it could have been, as I experienced periods of stagnancy and had to approach my manager on several occasions to ask for work. However, on the whole, I felt aptly responsible.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development

Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
The onboarding process was excellent and set me up very nicely in a short time period, though support did feel as though it trailed off slightly in the later half of the placement, in a sense that I'd be seeking work more often than previously, where my manager would have back-to-back tasks for me.

Recommendations & Advice

Would you recommend Adobe to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to Adobe
In my experience, the application process was quite drawn out, with a couple months between two interviews. My advice would be to hold contact with the talent team and not be afraid of the interviews as the interviewers really try to make you comfortable throughout the process.
