Excellent company to work for, but you must work very hard

Pros

Exciting technologies, nice people, respect and excellent treatment of employees from management. Hours are flexible. Many training opportunities, and outstanding benefits.

Cons

Adobe is still a small company and is competing with giants like Microsoft, Apple, and Google. Employees know they must keep Adobe strong and competitive, and being acquired would be a nightmare. This, however, creates a constant pressure on everyone that they have to work hard, sometimes too hard.
