Smart employees, nice facilities, good gym, good cafe, located in the heart of downtown San Jose

Adobe hires really smart people, but then doesn't let them do their jobs. Top down management style that doesn't get articulated well throughout the company

Pros

Good technology. Nice to see they added campaign management with the acquisition of Neolane.

Cons

I'm hearing a number of people were recently let go. What's happening there? You'd think this would discourage prospective employees from taking a job there.
