Pros

It's great to work at a successful company, and Adobe has mastered the business it dominates in, namely creative professional software. You learn the ropes of the business from veterans, and you benefit from a playbook that's been working well for 20+ years. Strong culture of developing employees and a tightknit almost family atmosphere because of how long people have worked there.

Cons

As others have noted, because of the low turnover and strength of the employees, moving forward in your career can take a long, long time. I know one person I started with who got one bump up in level in eight years. They maintain a ratio for directors and above relative to individual contributors. Often easier to get a director title if you are recruited from outside the company.

Pros

Development schedules are reasonable, projects are interesting, lots of smart co-workers across the company, we have access to resources needed to succeed in our delivering our products. Overall, it's a very nice work environment with a diverse employee population. Management is communicative at all levels, compensation does reflect contribution, and office politics are generally kept to a minimum.

Cons

The business side sometimes struggles to properly identify and size new target markets. The company gets sucked into opportunity tangents that are not core to our business or strengths. Business side also seems to struggle with what's trendy (like social networks), vs. what's actually profitable.
