Used to have focus on cool technologies, now very much business focused.

Pros

Very cool technologies Excellent benefits People are very open and receptive Everyone knows and admires Adobe and its products Worldwide business exposure

Cons

Expansion seems to all be done outside the USA - very limited growth within. No attention paid to giving people wider experiences, so heaven forbid you stay with a product too long, you'll be shown the door. Strategy explanation never seemed to make sense the last few years - maybe it's gotten too big to have a single focus?
