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.
