Pros

Combination of cutting edge technologies with products loved by the users, make it very rewarding and meaningful to work here. Perks are very good, although they started to lack over the years. Good work-life balance goals. Wonderful, passionate, smart, and honest coworkers create an excellent environment for some. Cool, international, world-leading software company.

Cons

Some things can only be achieved through "socializing", knowing the right people, having lunch with them. Consensus-driven internal politics are making it hard sometimes to achieve fast progress.

Pros

People focused: Adobe really makes it a real priority to retain good people. What's different, at Adobe, is you can be rewarded for deep area expertise alone. There doesn't seem to be a press to discover everybody's path to Senior VP. Instead, if you do a great job and your talents are needed, Adobe will try to keep you. Strong rewards: pay is equitable if not better than peer companies. ESPP, in particular, is ridiculously good. Health care is similar to most high tech companies but they do offer pet insurance which is somewhat unique. Management: very open, addressable; feels like a small company at times. True performance-based review process: no bizarre stack rank, no funky "grades", just a straightforward conversation with your manager about how you've done and where you're going. Work/Life is second to none: Need time off? Take it! No limit on PTO. The simple agreement is, simply, make sure your job is taken care of.

Cons

Things can be a little frenetic. As Adobe shifts from the old to the new, some plans come in at the last minute. Hierarchical career movement may be limited. Org structures are pretty flat so, while your scope of influence may grow, you might stay in the same spot in the chain of command for some time. There is some discipline-specific segregation, typical of a mature software company (e.g., testers only do this, marketing people only do that, etc). I think this is more of a holdover culture from older employees as I don't see any segregation coming from higher levels.
