      Good company to work with

      Pros

      Good, growing company. There's a lot of room for growth still. Adobe is strongly poised to benefit from the wave of next-generation Web applications and services. One of the biggest advantages that Adobe has is its strong track-record of tapping trends and making them work to its own benefit. I would see the company as a front-runner as the world gears up to make the shift from shrink-wrapped applications to Web 2.0, Web 3.0 and so forth. The Macromedia acquisition has given Adobe a strong headstart and the management is competent enough to carry the momentum forth.

      Cons

      Long hours and challenging timelines.

      Pros

      Good management, participatory culture (as opposed to boss-is-always-right-in-other-firms).

      Cons

      There is practically no in-house training, no feedback on how someone is doing, no ranking disclosure.

      Great products, but need more Enterprise Focus!

      Pros

      Good products and nice people. Generally, colleagues are helpful and we have lots of intelligent people who work hard. Our desktop products are still market leading for a reason and we have some fantastic enterprise platforms that can do amazing things Communication is a ok rather than brilliant, but you do get a sense that you are doing a valued role and in general terms staff are looked after very well. We have plenty of technology at our disposal, pleasant offices with a wide range of break areas, decent coffee etc!! Compensation is good and things like quarterly bonuses are most welcome. Generally, left to get on with your job which is a blessing.

      Cons

      Bureacracy in getting things done is very long winded. Lack of decent marketing of enterprise products - clients simply do not know what we do in this space, very short term revenue targets, lack of resource in some areas, very west coast oriented, makes decision making in Europe very slow and difficult Pricing structures very complex and European pricing is viewed by most as rip-off, very difficult to justify. Lack of management understanding of Enterprise Level Selling and the length of time it takes to generate and close business makes doing business very difficult sometimes. Short termism is damaging the image of the company in some clients. Often seen as agressive to deal with.
