      I can't imagine working for any other company. I've never had an employer treat me better.

      Pros

      Adobe provides an opportunity to be on the cutting edge of innovation. I've never worked for an employer who provides so many ways to grow professionally and academically. There are industry leaders in every part of the company to learn from. Adobe has always helped me to achieve my own academic goals as well with the many programs and funding available for training purposes.

      Cons

      The hours can be demanding, and things move very quickly so there can be some very aggressive deadlines at times.

      Pros

      Adobe is an amazing company to work for...the best infact. Fantastic products, great employee spirit and energy and good compensation. I was always proud to tell people i worked at adobe. When i started Adobe was a company much like apple....without certain individuals egos... The exposure to different cultures, travel opportunities and management were all inspirational. during the 2001 - 2005 period the stock price and employee stock purchase plan along with option were phenominal... i bought my first townhouse with them!

      Cons

      post macromedia merger things changed dramatically...it was for all intensive purposes reverse take over, which was a very bad thing. for all intensive purposes we were beating macromedia, we were more profitable and we had much better people, but for some reason, macromedia management was placed in key roles and put their own people in charge...this was a slap in face for long time adobe staff. in many ways, we lost some of that culture and took on macromedias,which was not as friendly...

      Pros

      There is a lot of pride in what we do at Adobe; we help people create great stuff and do their work with less hassle, and that is very satisfying. The company cares about employees a lot, and does a pretty good job with work-life balance; the typical Adobean is a 'nice' person. The business is also very strong; growing and highly profitable. There is a definite sense of mission at Adobe, and if you are capable and motivated, there is a real chance for you to be able to 'put a dent in the universe' and change the way the world looks, works and plays (look at Photoshop, PDF, Flash and Flash Video for examples).

      Cons

      There is a strong concensus culture, which can occasionally get in the way of effective decision making. Coupled with that is that sometimes people can be a little 'too nice'...not that there isn't lively debate or room for dissent, but depending on your style you may occasionally feel the need to bang or knock heads a little harder (or maybe you'd be glad that you don't have to bang/knock heads as much as where you work today ;-).
