Pros

The company is known for a variety of great product suites. I was someone who worked mostly on Adobe Connect, a web conferencing platform. The work was never dull, and I was surrounded by several intelligent colleagues and managers. Certainly a well-run business.

Cons

The company is quite large, and that brings with it some of the standard pitfalls -- messages coming from up high that delay or scrap projects entirely, communication slip-ups. Salaries are barely competitive in a pretty expensive region of the U.S.

Pros

The company knows that transformation is needed to stay on top of a rapidly changing industry, and has so far done a fair job tearing down the old and busted pieces from within to create a service-oriented business. To see this first hand with VPs, directors, and management within the "creative" business has been one of my best career experiences. Leadership puts a lot of trust in each employee to do their best. Because of this, there is a lot of opportunity to influence things in a meaningful way that is rare in a company this size. I love each day at my job!

Cons

The wide geographic dispersion of employees is difficult to manage and work tasks sometimes feels like they are flung around without good technical direction. Certain pockets in the company have a lot of politics. There are good opportunities to interact with other developers, but many don't take advantage of it (or can't because of fixing tough problems of our own making). A lot of things that are done by individuals to "check a box": inefficient meetings, partial communication, incomplete work, missing/lacking integration... it feels like this can improve, though.
