      Some internal identity issues, but overall a great company to work for.

      Pros

      I love that this company gives me everything I need to be successful without the micromanagement. I have top notch equipment and can easily contact the people who developed each product when I have questions.

      Cons

      The only downside to the company is that we are trying to venture in to some new areas focused on services instead of product. Everyone in the company will tell you that Adobe is a product company, but the actions of the some executives don't align with words. I get the feeling of rogue actions and kingdom building at the senior leadership level.

      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.

      A great place to work but not perfect

      Pros

      Getting to work with some of the smartest, most creative and passionate people. Working on products that millions of people use everyday is also great. Overall, the company treats its employees quite well and the management hierarchy isn't too bad. Fairly stable company with several class leading products, however lots of opportunities to work on new stuff as well. Management encourages people to move within the company to try new roles.

      Cons

      Each division is run like a mini company so there are some inconsistencies across product groups. In many of the product groups, its not a meritocracy. Some managers hire friends, promote friends even though they are clearly incompetent for the new position.
