Pros

Excellent culture with friendly, social people and a general attitude that personal life should be balanced with work life.

Cons

Little accountability, a lot of confusionb etween the various groups in IT, many parallel efforts going on at once. A lot of meetings in which not too much seems to get done. HR is not really involved in a lot of things the way they should be, especially revolving around new hire education and assisting individuals with career advancement at Adobe. There are very few events which are held involving the company as the whole, but this may be difficult for organizaitons of this size.

Pros

Adobe provides an opportunity to be on the cutting edge of innovation. I've never worked for an employer who provides so many ways to grow professionally and academically. There are industry leaders in every part of the company to learn from. Adobe has always helped me to achieve my own academic goals as well with the many programs and funding available for training purposes.

Cons

The hours can be demanding, and things move very quickly so there can be some very aggressive deadlines at times.

Pros

Adobe is an amazing company to work for...the best infact. Fantastic products, great employee spirit and energy and good compensation. I was always proud to tell people i worked at adobe. When i started Adobe was a company much like apple....without certain individuals egos... The exposure to different cultures, travel opportunities and management were all inspirational. during the 2001 - 2005 period the stock price and employee stock purchase plan along with option were phenominal... i bought my first townhouse with them!

Cons

post macromedia merger things changed dramatically...it was for all intensive purposes reverse take over, which was a very bad thing. for all intensive purposes we were beating macromedia, we were more profitable and we had much better people, but for some reason, macromedia management was placed in key roles and put their own people in charge...this was a slap in face for long time adobe staff. in many ways, we lost some of that culture and took on macromedias,which was not as friendly...
