Pros

- Engineering practices were very professional, disciplined. - Teams were good at executing ideas. - Really talented and experienced people - Great work life balance

Cons

- Not enough risk taking, same focus on existing products (add features but not solve fundamental usability and learning curve flaws, although Photoshop CS6 begins to address some of it). - Not many new ideas gaining traction. - Each product was too independent, and had it's own sort of brand and reputation. Some would bolster the Adobe brand, some would tarnish it. - Designers that didn't work under a specific product but were under the main Experience Design group had a pie in the sky approach to problems, and were very unreliable. - Felt like there was very little room for career advancement, positions were very stale.
