Pros

Adobe is filled with super creative people wanting to make the world a better place by helping people take what they imagine and bring it out visually. Whether that's with artwork, photography, or data. They encourage the heart and every treats everyone very well. You will love your colleagues. They are innovating in their human resources areas with their ongoing "Check-In" process, and they really care about leadership development.

Cons

Adobe is a multi-headed beast now. They have so many markets and products that they serve, they serve very few of them really, really well. They're no longer excellent at any one thing, but just very good at a number of things. The tedious yearly budgeting process, both for execution and for resource management, is ripe to be blown up and new approaches considered. Tremendously bright VPs and middle managers are reduced to blubbering idiots that can only pass their upper executive's demands downward, causing huge morale and dissatisfaction in the employees as they are hamstrung by half-baked, un-customer-focused "corporate" mandates.
