Pros

As an engineer this is perhaps the best place I have ever worked for. I have worked for a lot of companies but they were either too hard on me or I had nothing interesting to work on. At Adobe if you prove that you are good, you get to work on some neat things and it is nice to know that the products Adobe makes, are well respected and in most cases the best out there. And things like telecommute option, benefits, compensation, ton of paid vacation, great work environment helps a little :)

Cons

Not much ... we have free beverages, espresso machines but no free lunch!!! But I head San Jose folks get free dinner if they stay till 7 PM. Seriously, I am very happy here.
