Pros

Open communication, good benefits, management actually seems to care. Less politics than at other big companies. There seems to be a lot of flexibility as to working style, schedule, participation. The company has a lot of growth opportunities and takes change seriously. The focus of almost everyone is on winning by creating more value for customers, and not so much on protecting existing franchises or killing competitors.

Cons

Projects get canceled for reasons that don't seem clear. The "consensus" approach to decision making means way too many meetings. It's a pretty closed world; many groups don't have a lot of opportunity to explore the latest trends in software. Lots of groups have legacy code, and backward compatibility slows progress.

Pros

Adobe is an innovative company with a talented work force who pride themselves on the product and working smart. Everyone works hard, but also recognizes the importance of balance between work and life. It is a great Company to work for, and one of the best in the Silicon Valley.

Cons

While Adobe is a great company to work for, the one downside it has (from my experience) is that there are limited opportunities for growth. Unlike larger companies within the valley, there is not a formal rotation program, so movement (lateral or upward) is dependent on the growth of the Company (at least within the finance organization). You must be proactive about seeking out opportunities for growth.
