Pros

As an engineer this is perhaps the best place I have ever worked for. I have worked for a lot of companies but they were either too hard on me or I had nothing interesting to work on. At Adobe if you prove that you are good, you get to work on some neat things and it is nice to know that the products Adobe makes, are well respected and in most cases the best out there. And things like telecommute option, benefits, compensation, ton of paid vacation, great work environment helps a little :)

Cons

Not much ... we have free beverages, espresso machines but no free lunch!!! But I head San Jose folks get free dinner if they stay till 7 PM. Seriously, I am very happy here.

Pros

Benefits, holiday time, work-life balance, facilities, developer and community outreach, off-work activities, exciting place to work with respect to product lines (Creative Suite, Flex, AIR).

Cons

Ossified hierarchical old-school Xerox PARC culture, little opportunity to move out of hired-in functional area or grow in one's functional area, culture stubbornly resistant to change, management lives in the past and resists change or innovation from the outside, navel gazing. Adobe marches to the beat of its own drum whether it makes sense or not. Failed
