Pros

Life Balance, professional growth, flexibility, great people, an opportunity to work on a product that I love, and be involved in making it better.

Cons

Bad reputation in many circles, poor focus on core competencies. Adobe is making many (seemingly) segmented attempts at entering many markets, but seems to lack an overall vision of where it's all going. Apple has the digital lifestyle, Adobe has a conglomeration of many different kinds of customers it has earned or bought over the years. Bundling software isn't enough, they need to create a world for it to live in.

Pros

Great products, smart people, casual atmosphere. Flex time and remote working, lots of lateral movement opportunities, brand recognition is a plus for friends and families. Great community involvement, generous benefits (profit sharing!).

Cons

can be a pressure cooker at times, work-life balance, they'll do layoffs to protect quarterly numbers despite huge amounts of cash cusion and hiring back many workers months after layoffs (happened to me 3 times). It isn't even a meritocratous decision, just the bottom-line numbers.
