Pros

Adobe has some of the coolest and most creative products (Photoshop, Lightroom, InDesign, etc.). Most of the people you work with have a deep passion for the products and the customers.

Cons

Unfortunately, the company is starting to be dominated by people who don't care about the products and only care about maximizing revenue. Adobe by founded by two great men who loved technology and finding unique ways to solve problems. They solved customers' problems that they did not know they had (PostScript, PDF, Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, Acrobat, etc.). It's been a long time since we invented anything at the company. Mostly because we don't give these new ideas (products, services, technologies) enough time to mature. They typically get cut within the first year because they are not making the millions of dollars the company needs.

Pros

Great co-workers. Work-life balance is better than most other companies. Adobe's doing exciting things--if we succeed, we'll have a huge, positive impact on how others do their work.

Cons

Adobe still isn't a bad place to work, but from the employee perspective, it definitely seems to be on the decline. With layoffs, cost-cutting measures by removing time off and benefits, morale on most teams is really low. Management seems more worried about appeasing Wall Street than running a successful, impactful business where employees are happy and excited.

Pros

Adobe has some very good/smart people and there is a good work/life balance; in addition, there are good benefits, although some of them have been taken away of late.

Cons

The company has become more political and has not maintained its core values as stated; poor senior leadership/vision; continues to live off old technology; not innovative
