      Pros

      1. Colleagues are usually all from tier 1 colleges or from peer companies. There are always lots of discussions on puzzles, coding challenges & hackathons. 2. Pay is OK when compared to product companies. Stock options are good, plus Employee stock purchase plans are also available. 3. Work is very interesting. You get to work on industry leading products. Really like the way Adobe encourages its employees to connect with customers directly & learn how they are using Adobe's products. 4. Team is encouraged to learn new programming skills & design practices. 5. Buffet lunch, snacks, soft drinks, etc are provided free of cost.

      Cons

      1. Depending on the team, work-life balance can be a bit screwed sometimes. 2. Huge huge difference between pay of developers vs. quality engineers. Companies which are of Adobe's stature usually pay near-about or equal to Devs & QEs. 3. Peer programming opportunities are less.

      Pros

      A lot of smart people work here so there is no shortage of talent and experience to learn from. You get to interact and work with all the stakeholders very closely. Adobe is great at taking care its employees. It provides great pay, good health plan , regular events keep everyone interested and there is a freedom to work in the way it pleases you.

      Cons

      With inclusion of a lot of new people, Adobe has lowered the standard of people they are hiring. The standard of discussions among the peers is reduced a great deal. Apart from this, there is a lot of stagnation in the older projects. If you are trapped in one of those, there is no scope of innovation or growth .
