Pros

Adobe has historically striven to produce the best of class software anywhere. We come up with innovative ways to solve our customers problems. As such, innovation and quality have been fundamental values that are reenforced over and over at all levels of the management chain.

Cons

The dedication to developing innovative best in class software has suffered since the macromedia acquisition. Moreover, top-down communication has completely fallen apart since the acquisition. Granted, the company is much bigger now, but even most business unit quarterly meetings have been cancelled, and size isn't an excuse for that.

Pros

Good products and nice people. Generally, colleagues are helpful and we have lots of intelligent people who work hard. Our desktop products are still market leading for a reason and we have some fantastic enterprise platforms that can do amazing things Communication is a ok rather than brilliant, but you do get a sense that you are doing a valued role and in general terms staff are looked after very well. We have plenty of technology at our disposal, pleasant offices with a wide range of break areas, decent coffee etc!! Compensation is good and things like quarterly bonuses are most welcome. Generally, left to get on with your job which is a blessing.

Cons

Bureacracy in getting things done is very long winded. Lack of decent marketing of enterprise products - clients simply do not know what we do in this space, very short term revenue targets, lack of resource in some areas, very west coast oriented, makes decision making in Europe very slow and difficult Pricing structures very complex and European pricing is viewed by most as rip-off, very difficult to justify. Lack of management understanding of Enterprise Level Selling and the length of time it takes to generate and close business makes doing business very difficult sometimes. Short termism is damaging the image of the company in some clients. Often seen as agressive to deal with.
