Adobe Romania had 520 employees at the end of last year.

“We expect to hire more than 100 new people in 2018, as we did last year, mostly in the technical departments. We will continue to focus and remain interested in talent with cloud computing and big data knowledge and skills. However, when it comes to top 5% talent, the best of the best that is, we look at the soft skills, at the openness towards new things and overall software engineering knowledge,” said Cris Radu, senior director of engineering and site leader Adobe Romania.

“Even though some applicants do not specialize in the specific area we need in a team at a given time, they can be suitable for the organizational culture and can easily learn the specific technology or language. This is the allure of working with the best: they don’t say ‘I don’t’ know’ but ‘I don’t know yet’. They learn fast and bring a fresh perspective to the team.”

Adobe added 60 new people to its Romanian subsidiary in 2017, all of whom carefully selected.

Adobe Romania currently has 550 employees, having hired 30 people in the first quarter.
