      Pros

      We work on amazing products. My friends love sharing the employee discount. Almost everyone I meet instantly recognizes what it is I work on. The people we work with are intelligent, which makes a big difference when you have to work with them day in and out. It is a big, recognizable software company that you can be proud to be a part of, while still smaller than the other big software players.

      Cons

      They only have a few offices, so relocating and keeping your job would be difficult. Everyone I know uses my as their personal sound board for every complaint about Photoshop, Flash, Acrobat, Updater, etc.

      Which Adobe are you looking for? The new or the old?

      Pros

      Adobe (the formerly-Macromedia part, anyway) is taking the lead in rich client development. They are taking the mindshare away from Java on the client, which means more developers use what you work on, which is a good place to be. Aside from working on cool technology that actually gets used, you don't have to give up your life to do it. I feel my management is very flexible about letting me work from home as needed and sets realistic scheduling expectations. I'm also getting paid enough of a base salary to live in the SF Bay Area and the profit sharing is a nice bonus as well.

      Cons

      Some parts of the company are getting long in the tooth and jealous of the new kids on the block. There are two Adobe's -- the original Adobe that developed all of those fonts, PostScript, Acrobat, and Photoshop, and then there's the Adobe that used to be Macromedia. The original Adobe has a very corporate feel and the new Adobe has more of a free-wheeling, agile feel. That could be because it's younger.
