Pros

Supportive culture, encourages risk taking and bottoms up decision making

Cons

HR policies around "equity" are horrible, specifically around people who move up in responsibility. You have to "boomerang"- move into a job where you're paid below industry standard, but that grants you increased responsibility; use those new skills to move into a similar, but higher paid role, at another company; then come back to Adobe later for the great culture.

Pros

Good, growing company. There's a lot of room for growth still. Adobe is strongly poised to benefit from the wave of next-generation Web applications and services. One of the biggest advantages that Adobe has is its strong track-record of tapping trends and making them work to its own benefit. I would see the company as a front-runner as the world gears up to make the shift from shrink-wrapped applications to Web 2.0, Web 3.0 and so forth. The Macromedia acquisition has given Adobe a strong headstart and the management is competent enough to carry the momentum forth.

Cons

Long hours and challenging timelines.

Pros

Good management, participatory culture (as opposed to boss-is-always-right-in-other-firms).

Cons

There is practically no in-house training, no feedback on how someone is doing, no ranking disclosure.
