Pros

Great place to work if you're in it for the long haul Great benefits Amicable work environment Flexible schedules Managers are real nice people Co-workers are genuinely interested in helping you out Lot of opportunities to learn and grow via trainings

Cons

Managers seem to lack decision making powers about the future of their product, and the few who wield the power don't seem to be very coherent. Climbing up the ladder will take very long, no matter how amazing you are. It's become one of those companies where every employee (as long as you are not one of the worst performing employees) gets promoted every so often. And when you're performing really good and still don't get promoted, the reason you get is that senior management doesn't want a lot of people moving towards the top so fast! No matter what the HR says, the salaries are not better than most companies in the area. They are towards the lower end of the spectrum.

Pros

Great Benefits, very comprehensive. Competitive pay and nice place to work

Cons

Adobe does not know what it wants to be now that it is over 20 years old. They change course in the direction they are headed too often. They need to determine what they want to be a software company or a enterprise solutions company, you can not be both. Also, if you have young children this IS NOT the place for you. Long hours are expected and while they boast work life balance programs, do not be fooled. I think it is a great place to start your career fresh out of college but being in middle management at Adobe sucks.
