Pros

Most of my colleagues are super--smart, hard-working, team-players, operate in the best interests of the company. Great innovation--it is incredible how much innovation is going on within the company. Cool products, cool brand, users love Adobe!

Cons

Organization is pretty flat, so some feel potential promotions is more limited. Consensus-driven company (although in some cases is a good thing, it can bog down decision making, especially at the very top levels of the company). Pay could be better--not sure how HR does its benchmarking, but we seem to have lower salaries than my colleagues at other high-tech companies in the Valley.

Pros

1. Good work. 2. Smart people to work with and you get to learn from them.

Cons

1. Very less opportunity to grow as leader/manager ( for developers and QE) 2. Bad facilities.. A lot of cost cutting is happening tissue papers on toilet , snacks, food 3. Every year last 5 percent is sacked...yes every year...I have been watching this from last 5+ years 4. If you are not in top 15% of company, you get 6-12 % hike ....if you are in top 15% you may get 20-20% + RSU + Shipping bonus... so there is a huge difference between high performer and normal performer, if you are not a high performer you feel like a labor working on a construction site. 5.

Cons

it's slow moving ship and can't quickly react to trends and market conditions
