      Caveat emptor

      Pros

      The products and the people who work there. And the customers who are so passionate about what they can create with the tools. It was always rewarding to see what they could create.

      Cons

      The quarterly layoffs. The forced bottom 10% pruning that typically happens, but with political fun thrown in to add to the count. I was told that I had to get more aggressive and focus on taking my peers out in order for me to get ahead. I couldn't do this as I had worked with some of these peers for many years.

      Generally happy with Adobe.

      Pros

      Adobe has a lot of great products. That means as an employee there is always something interesting going on and you can pretty much choose to work on a variety of different things if you want to move around within the company. The people at Adobe are also very smart and fun to work with. Our customers are some of the best people in the world and they generally love our products. Getting to interact with designers and developers using Adobe's tools is a lot of fun. The benefits are very, very good and in I think for the most part everyone has a good work-life balance.

      Cons

      Adobe has a leadership/direction problem. We have good management but a lot of times management appears to have trouble making hard decisions. As a result the company seems to move in a million different directions with little products popping up and going away with no thought as to how they fit into the overall mission. Although we don't really have much of an overall mission which is maybe part of the problem. I don't think management has done a good enough job of really focusing on what our goals our. As an employee that can be frustrating and tough to deal with.

      Adobe can be a good place to work but less chances of moving up.

      Pros

      Adobe has best people and teams. Its a fun environment and you can work on cutting edge products and technologies. Its located in the heart of San francisco and the caltrain station is very close by. Adobe also has shuttle if you take Bart to other areas of bay area. Adobe also provides commuter checks to share some of your commuting costs.

      Cons

      Since its a large company its difficult to be noticible by higher management. There are less chances of getting promoted. Salary is much less than any other company of similar size. Actually salary is less than the company of smaller size than Adobe.
