      Excellent company to work for, but you must work very hard

      Pros

      Exciting technologies, nice people, respect and excellent treatment of employees from management. Hours are flexible. Many training opportunities, and outstanding benefits.

      Cons

      Adobe is still a small company and is competing with giants like Microsoft, Apple, and Google. Employees know they must keep Adobe strong and competitive, and being acquired would be a nightmare. This, however, creates a constant pressure on everyone that they have to work hard, sometimes too hard.

      Great place to work!

      Pros

      You get good growth opportunities and their is good diversity of work and Adobe encourages people to move between roles and expand their skills. It takes lot of care of its employees and make sure they are decently compensated. Adobe gives you opportunity to learn and innovate things. I like the fact that each employee is respected for the skills he brings to his job. You have a great work life balance. You have times when one needs to stretch himself. You have easy access to senior management if you have any issues. I like the fact that Adobe has managers who act as mentors for their reportees.

      Cons

      At times, people feel Adobe is a laid back that doesn't know how to monetize its tools. PDF and Flash have the highest penetration in the PC world and even then we are not 10% the size of the Redmond company. We need to know how better to monetize our super cool products. Adobe office outside of US don't rub the same culture as that of Adobe US. You need to fly coach class even when you are travelling on US. It hurts to see people from India campuses flying in a coach class for 24-26 hours and then off to work the next day.

      Cool products, great culture and great pay.

      Pros

      Cutting edge products, right time in the market, support of innovation. The culture is very open and I am able to communicated with management at all levels in my current Business Unit. They have great opportunities to participate in new product innovation boot camps and allow you to pitch ideas that sometimes receive funding; similar in nature to receiving funding for a new start up idea.

      Cons

      Large company politics, slow moving processes. Certain members of our organization carry significant influence and direct the architecture of the products without taking into consideration customer needs. Accountability of management is sometimes lacking.
