      Great place to work but not to build a career.

      Pros

      Great benefits inducing 24 days PTO, ESPP and good work hours. There is a good cafeteria, gym and free public transportation.

      Cons

      Very difficult to build a career at Adobe since they aren't expanding and very few people quit giving little opportunity for promotion. Internal candidates not given any preference over those from outside. The way to get promoted is to quit, and come back 2 years later at a higher level - sad but true.

      Adobe is a great company even though it's been falling on the best companies to work for ranking.

      Pros

      Great benefits and compensation packages. The company has wonderful core values such as community service. It's a good feeling to work for the greenest company in America. Love that we recycle and have compost recycling onsite. Location in San Jose/Seattle, everyone has an office and great workspace. Great facility and people. The Cafe has been remodeled and offer pretty good choices and food.

      Cons

      Tend to promote outsiders instead of further developing long timers. Has lost it's old spirit that the founders started the company with. Need to bring back the fun and spirit Adobe once had when the founders were running the company.

      A Macromedian's opinion

      Pros

      They have excellent brand recognition. I actually worked for Macromedia and when we were acquired I was initially excited but then decided that I wanted the small company feel back in my life. I am still in touch with a lot of people who went to work at adobe and they like it. One of the main reasons I would have stayed longer was to stay working with the people that I loved to work with. The best part about working for Macromemdia was the outstanding people I had the pleasure of working with each day. I miss that place.

      Cons

      The company was too big. Being acquired was a major challenge for me personally. Macromedia felt like a family and Adobe felt more like a small part of this big place and I was not sure how I fit in. I never really felt integrated into the Adobe family and I was not sure if my opinion was valued. I questioned whether or not I could make a long term impact. I was also concerned that I would have to start working more and more from the main HQ office in San Jose, which is really far from where I live.
