Pros

Great people -- super smart, friendly, hard working Great products Offices are VERY nice (SJ and SF at least) Employee discount on products is like 90+% (huge discount), and we can hook up friends. Great other benefits The right amount of vacation time Old products shipped to India for maintenance so we can work on cutting edge stuff in the US (this is a good thing!)

Cons

If you work on an old product, Adobe is in the process of rennovating itself, so you might fear layoffs. However even in that case, if you are on top of your game, you'll get rehired by another team before even your last day. If you do get laid off, Adobe gives a 3 month severance, which is huge.

Working in Adobe LiveCycle team

Pros

You will not be fired even if you underperform ( also expect not much salary hikes or any other incentives apart from facing agony of upper management)

Cons

-Very bad curve of learning experience -Arrogant and Liar management -False promises with regards to compensation and quality of work -Since its a sidelined product of Adobe now do not expect the same perks which engineers in other teams enjoy (like higher team outing budget, higher shipment bonuses and better hikes etc) -Dense atmosphere of negativity in team. In recent times experiences engineers (Dev/QE) have started leaving LiveCycle or Organization. There are only handful of good engineers left in product.
