      Pros

      Great company to work for with high level of respect for employees and customers. Adobe and it's employees live their values. Adobe builds great products and engenders a lot of customer loyalty by treating it's customers and employees right.

      Cons

      Not enough reliance on internal experts to drive product direction; not enough vision set down from senior management to coalesce a strategy

      Adobe: my platform from which to transform the world, and improve the future of digital media.

      Pros

      We create tools that enable creative expression that's never before been possible! Adobe understands what it takes to ship world-class software; we have a software development process that's sane, challenging, intuitive, and which ensures that we maintain a semblance of work / life balance.

      Cons

      Our competence is sometimes punished by further responsibility. "You did THAT, without additional headcount? Well, let's see if you can do even BETTER, without additional headcount!" "Great job meeting those aggressive quarterly numbers. Here are some BIGGER numbers to beat. Recession? WHAT recession?" I kid, but Adobe wrings every bit of productivity from its groups. Our 'modular' approach to software development allows this to work. Under-performers don't last long at Adobe, which is good for our corporate DNA.

      Great place to work, but to have to really work hard to shine.

      Pros

      They people there are nice, down to earth, reasonable, and willing to help. Furthermore, the work is challenging. There is sense of ownership of the products people work on. They take a great deal of pride in the products. The free water bottles, sodas, and other small perks show the company cares about the employees.

      Cons

      I found that there was a bit of a disconnect with my manager and I. He took projects at a much higher level then I did. Furthermore, I worked more closely with my co-worker then my manager. I did not get much of a performance review at the end of my employment. Furthermore, I found that it was too easy to get lost in the sea of people and not stand out.
