Since its inception in 1982, Adobe has always taken a people-based approach to business, fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace environment that is committed to making employees feel happy, appreciated, comfortable and excited to bring their best selves to work.

Adobe can only be as successful as its employees are happy to work here, and they recognize that their innovation and financial performance rests its laurels on the people who work here day in and day out.

When John Warnock and Chuck Geschke founded Adobe in 1982, the two were set on building an innovative company through a workplace based on honesty, trust and a belief in treating everyone equally and with respect. Adobe believes that the individual and day-to-day efforts by people who embody Adobe’s core values (Genuine, Exceptional, Innovative and Involved) and beliefs are what has propelled their brand forward.

Even before the pandemic, Adobe has shown unwavering commitment to employees through investments in learning and development, a culture that fosters innovation and growth, and with industry-leading benefits. A good example is the wide variety of family-friendly leave policies that cater to the diverse scenarios employees may face when starting a family.

Their vision for advancing diversity and inclusion is called “Adobe For All.” As part of it, they believe that everyone deserves respect and equal treatment, regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, age, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, cultural background or religious beliefs.
