Pros

There are very few. They have nice facilities and the pay is about average for this area. Many people have heard of the company. You can purchase their software at a discount for non-commercial use.

Cons

The management at Adobe makes poor decisions and lacks any well defined direction. They have a vague idealistic thought of where they want to be, but without any really idea of how they could get there. The management also makes it hard to succeed at your job and set you up to fail. Their products are old and aging and they aren't able to come up with any new useful ones out side of trying to acquire other companies. Their products also have a reputation for being bloated, slow, and poorly written. The HR department is by far the least helpful out of any of the companies I've ever worked for and is generally very rude. There is also a lot of dishonesty and disrespect at the company.

Pros

Environment was really helpful especially in development. All engineers are free to talk and help. The building is extremely nice and the amenities are top notch.

Cons

Sometimes the products are not the most exciting. Every product uses flash or so it seems, and speed is not always the first priority.

Pros

Right people doing the right things. Very comfortable place to work. Very good compensation package with a lot of perks.

Cons

Hard to grow within the company. Also this year there was not salary review. With the profit sharing plan also not working this year it's a significant decrease of total compensation.
