One of the highest compliments that we could receive is an Adobe employee who says our company is a great place to work. That’s exactly what’s happened today – on an immense scale. For the 13^th time, Adobe has made FORTUNE’s 100 Best Companies to Work for list. We ranked 41, a 59 percent improvement over last year’s ranking.

Given the quality and number of companies considered for this list, I couldn’t be more proud and humbled by this recognition. It’s a direct reflection of our incredible employees and the enthusiasm they bring to work every day. Although Adobe has grown and changed significantly since its founding nearly 30 years ago, our values and commitment to creating a great place to work remain constant.

When I learned about our ranking on the list, I paused to think about what I like best about working for Adobe… I have to say it’s our 10,000 creative, passionate and innovative employees. Read what other Adobe employees have to say about working here on the Life@Adobe blog.

Each year we pay tribute to Adobe’s values (Genuine, Exceptional, Innovative, and Involved) by recognizing employees who embody them to the fullest extent with the Founders’ Award. It’s a global, peer-nominated program that we started a decade ago and one that continues to be our most prestigious employee recognition program. Our Founders’ Award recipients accomplish great things in their daily jobs, but they do so in way that’s true to the beliefs that John Warnock and Chuck Geschke instilled in our culture when they founded Adobe: treat others the way you’d like to be treated.

Today, I had the distinct pleasure of honoring this year’s 10 terrific recipients at our all-employee meeting. They ranged from a technical sales manager in Maryland who is known as “The MacGyver of Adobe” because he always thinking out of the box and working to make things better, to a technical response team member in India who is lauded for his ability to solve customer issues and his excellent capabilities as a manager.

These individuals are not only great to work with, they make Adobe a great place to work – and we have many amazing employees just like them. I invite you to learn more about what it’s like to work here on our Life@Adobe blog or on ourcareer opportunities page on Adobe.com.
