      Pros

      Great people, Technology and working environment

      Cons

      Everyone is working scared. November comes and we layoff hundred of US workers and hire them in India, It has happed 4 out of 5 years. Employees do not trust management. Adobe has dropped the goal of being innovative and now follows other leaders. They want to be part of everything and lack focus. Management has trully lost it over last year with bad decisions and communication. Word is that they are just trucking along to vest more options and then re-org to buy more time. I think they should just make a clear cut and close all offices in US and move it to India and China - get it over with.

      Overall a nice place to work, but not perfect.

      Pros

      Good work life balance. Making cool products that help creative people realize their dreams. Decent compensation. Smart, honest, hardworking coworkers. Freedom to run my business as I see fit.

      Cons

      Complicated internal politics. Strategy changes every year. Becoming more focussed on wall street and quarterly results than our customers and business.

      Pros

      Great place to work if you're in it for the long haul Great benefits Amicable work environment Flexible schedules Managers are real nice people Co-workers are genuinely interested in helping you out Lot of opportunities to learn and grow via trainings

      Cons

      Managers seem to lack decision making powers about the future of their product, and the few who wield the power don't seem to be very coherent. Climbing up the ladder will take very long, no matter how amazing you are. It's become one of those companies where every employee (as long as you are not one of the worst performing employees) gets promoted every so often. And when you're performing really good and still don't get promoted, the reason you get is that senior management doesn't want a lot of people moving towards the top so fast! No matter what the HR says, the salaries are not better than most companies in the area. They are towards the lower end of the spectrum.
