      * Nice downtown San Jose location, close to mass transit (SF Office) * Smart enginnering staff * Great Benefits * Good name recognition

      Cons

      * HR does little to promote from within * Alot of rookie VPs waiting for market to turn around, it shows in their work. * Alot of politics (tends to happen when there is not enough growth) * Ego driven culture (too many chiefs not enough indians) * Alot of jobs are being re-org'd to Utah where cost is cheaper * Flash

      Over the past 7 years my experience at Adobe has been tremendous.

      Pros

      Best reasons to work at Adobe - culture, career growth potential, great people, and amazing opportunities to learn from senior colleagues and managers.

      Cons

      Lack of senior management's support in violations of code conduct. I and many of my colleages have been witness to blatant favoritism, of which senior management is well aware, but no disciplinary action is taken. Three incredibly talented and intelligent people have left the team because of this, but are too afraid to go to HR to complain. They fear that it would be awkward and nobody wants to be a whistle blower. It's a commonly known fact that the manager and his subordinate are in engaged in a personal relationship - it's laughable. What is not laughable is the obvious display of favoritism this manager bestows upon his subordinate - i.e. promotions when most would agree her skill level and abilities do not match the roles she's been promoted to.
