      Adobe is very underrated and under-appreciated, don't pass up an opportunity to work here.

      Pros

      As an engineer this is perhaps the best place I have ever worked for. I have worked for a lot of companies but they were either too hard on me or I had nothing interesting to work on. At Adobe if you prove that you are good, you get to work on some neat things and it is nice to know that the products Adobe makes, are well respected and in most cases the best out there. And things like telecommute option, benefits, compensation, ton of paid vacation, great work environment helps a little :)

      Cons

      Not much ... we have free beverages, espresso machines but no free lunch!!! But I head San Jose folks get free dinner if they stay till 7 PM. Seriously, I am very happy here.

      Pros

      Good salary & benefits, intelligent co-workers who are passionate about the products they work on, and being associated with some of the best products in the business. I know that sounds like I've drunk the kool-aid, but I truly believe our products kick ass and that the roadmap we've got is a solid one. The SF office had a convenient location, a decent cafeteria, and is very commuter-friendly, with shuttle buses running from both CalTrain and BART stations. Plus, it's a nice ego boost to work for a company that everyone, even folks outside the tech business, has heard of.

      Cons

      The usual problem of a large corporation -- it takes a long time and a LOT of meetings to get things to happen. And with employees spread out all over the place, you spend far too much of your time doing email and phone conferences rather than talking face-to-face. Also, some deadwood; Adobe does not like to fire people so bad hires tend to get shuffled around rather than simply axed. The SF office, although nicely furnished, is a cube farm and the noise and lack of privacy can be distracting. On the other hand, the SJ office, where everyone has an office, is like a tomb.
