Business Outlook

Pros

Benefits, holiday time, work-life balance, facilities, developer and community outreach, off-work activities, exciting place to work with respect to product lines (Creative Suite, Flex, AIR).

Cons

Ossified hierarchical old-school Xerox PARC culture, little opportunity to move out of hired-in functional area or grow in one's functional area, culture stubbornly resistant to change, management lives in the past and resists change or innovation from the outside, navel gazing. Adobe marches to the beat of its own drum whether it makes sense or not. Failed

Pros

There are lots of benefits, it's a tolerant environment, and there are flexible hours.

Cons

My area is a withering branch. Proven technology might be neglected while non-proven technology is given lots of attention.

Pros

At the top of the list of pros for this company would have to be: The employee package and the employee program.

Cons

I would have to say that sometimes I am overworked at this company. This means that work and life balance is a bit off.
