Adobe & Rewards

Adobe is committed to giving you the best possible means for planning and managing your financial future.

Pay and incentives
We take pride in sharing our success with exceptional employees who help us achieve our goals. We strive to offer market-competitive salaries, along with several bonus programs to reward employees when they demonstrate exceptional results.

Equity
Adobe currently maintains an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) that enables eligible employees to share in the ownership of the company they help build by purchasing Adobe stock every six months at a price that is discounted from the fair market value with a look back.

Employees may also be eligible to receive certain Restricted Stock Unit (RSU) grants, which generally vest over a four-year period.

Retirement
Employees may choose to set up their own voluntary supplemental pension plan. Adobe contributes 7.5% if the employee chooses to participate in the plan with the minimum contribution of 7.5%.

Adobe's Life, Disability, and Total Permanent Disability insurance

Adobe enables employees to purchase insurance that will cover up to 75% of an employee's base salary in the event of disability. Adobe covers the cost of Life insurance, offering employees' families up to five times the base annual salary. 

Extra perks
Adobe offers a range of extras including significant discounts on Adobe software for personal use.

Adobe & Careers

We focus on ways to help employees own their careers, reach their full potential, and maximize their success. In addition to numerous development offerings, Adobe's Educational Assistance program reimburses up to US$10,000 per year for eligible business-related courses and certificate programs.

Adobe & Community

We support and build community, inside and outside the company, through service, sustainability, and celebration. Being involved is a core part of who we are — in fact, it's part of our corporate values. To support this involvement, Adobe offers matching gifts, volunteer incentives, and more.
