Pros

Good people, open communications, and an honest core.

Cons

Difficult to get them to follow instinctive paths. Very data driven company for decision making. Works well for existing products but makes it hard to start new endeavors.

Pros

1. Flexibility to work anywhere and anytime. 2. The benefits are great. 3. In general, lots of smart and interesting people.

Cons

People work a lot, so I'm not sure that there is as much work/life balance as they say that there is.

Pros

Interesting products, reasonable work-life balance, and they are trying do innovate and move beyond their core products. Good relative salaries. Macromedia aquisition helped to dilute the stifling old-boys club.

Cons

You need to be in the club - this is no meritocracy - it's an old-boys club. Thus if you aren't in this club - and it take years to be included - you will suffer an extremely slow path of development and promotion. If rapid growth is important to you, then you'll need to look elsewhere. Unfortunately a fair number of members of the 'club' have been at Adobe for a decade (or more), and they seem to feel like there is some time-based 'dues' that need to be paid. If you are a woman, it is also more difficult to get past Director level. There are very few that actually own product/revenue.
