Pros

Adobe is a company filled with many excellent programmers, mostly working on very stable, mature products. There is good job security, excellent benefits, and mostly a wonderful environment.

Cons

Entrepreneurial projects have a tough time at Adobe. They can get initially funded by very rarely ever make it as a real product because the barrier to becoming a substantial contributor to revenue is so low. It may be better to find a way to add a great feature to an existing product.

Pros

1) Free food. 2) Less work pressure in some teams (not all) 3) Smart people

Cons

1) Most of the teams are doing exploratory or supporting work to US, not much challenging work. 2) Bossy types, keep your boss and management happy to enjoy benefits else you are screwed. 3) Career path stagnation specially when you grow senior 4) Learning is not good and you can easily get outdated in the market, thats the biggest risk for working with Adobe.
