Pros

Adobe has historically striven to produce the best of class software anywhere. We come up with innovative ways to solve our customers problems. As such, innovation and quality have been fundamental values that are reenforced over and over at all levels of the management chain.

Cons

The dedication to developing innovative best in class software has suffered since the macromedia acquisition. Moreover, top-down communication has completely fallen apart since the acquisition. Granted, the company is much bigger now, but even most business unit quarterly meetings have been cancelled, and size isn't an excuse for that.

Pros

intelligent peers, great work culture, zeal for innovation & good leadership of reporting managers. - It is fairly easy to manage work life balance due to flexi hours. - Managers keep a continues watch on employees and ensure a fair performance review for all. On top of it, the peer review is one of the main part of review process.

Cons

- Adobe is one of many companies which is getting bitten by Piracy. The software piracy affects product revenues & employees who work hard for it. - Adobe offers moderate salary which stays a little lower than the best paymasters. Sometimes prospective employees reject offers due to it. However, adobe is consistent with the compensation it offers and tries to follow its OPEN & fair compensation policy.

Pros

I love that this company gives me everything I need to be successful without the micromanagement. I have top notch equipment and can easily contact the people who developed each product when I have questions.

Cons

The only downside to the company is that we are trying to venture in to some new areas focused on services instead of product. Everyone in the company will tell you that Adobe is a product company, but the actions of the some executives don't align with words. I get the feeling of rogue actions and kingdom building at the senior leadership level.
