Pros

Good people to work with. Used to provide great benefit but I am not sure now. This company invented the greatest software Illustrator and Photoshop. So many great developers and smart people. Nice work environment in SF and SJ.

Cons

Too many jobs are sent to India and China, and layoffs in US. The company straggles to invent the next big thing.
