      The people and the products are awesome but the consensus culture can be limiting.

      Pros

      Adobe has some of the coolest and most creative products (Photoshop, Lightroom, InDesign, etc.). Most of the people you work with have a deep passion for the products and the customers.

      Cons

      Unfortunately, the company is starting to be dominated by people who don't care about the products and only care about maximizing revenue. Adobe by founded by two great men who loved technology and finding unique ways to solve problems. They solved customers' problems that they did not know they had (PostScript, PDF, Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, Acrobat, etc.). It's been a long time since we invented anything at the company. Mostly because we don't give these new ideas (products, services, technologies) enough time to mature. They typically get cut within the first year because they are not making the millions of dollars the company needs.

      This is still a good company, but is in decline; its best years are behind it.

      Pros

      Adobe has some very good/smart people and there is a good work/life balance; in addition, there are good benefits, although some of them have been taken away of late.

      Cons

      The company has become more political and has not maintained its core values as stated; poor senior leadership/vision; continues to live off old technology; not innovative

      Pros

      - Stocked Kitchen, Beer Bashes on Fridays - Lunches are well prepared by chefs (not free though) - Very passionate and smart people - Very fun and relaxed atmosphere to work in. "Work Hard, Play Hard" - Awesome game room - People are very open minded and willing to listen to your opinion and ideas and courteous as well - Good pay, cool perks like free fitness reimbursement

      Cons

      - Very flat organization structure, hard to get promoted and move onto other positions - Mature company, goes to the first point, a lot of people are settled in their positions so its hard to move up, you may have to go to another company then come back to higher position - The yearly layoffs - Upper management is not taking risks in new products, very conservative and reliant on the core products (photoshop, flash, etc.)
