Pros
(1) Work/life balance at Adobe is just amazing. Especially the shutdowns in July and over New Year's are super valuable (it gives you a real mental break that you otherwise don't get). (2) The company has a strong monopoly with the Creative Cloud, which brings in huge profits and took the stock price where it is now. (3) It is an amazing brand and working for Adobe makes you truly proud.
Cons
(1) Level of stress really depends on what product you work for. On the Creative Cloud side everyone is somewhat dispensable (it's a monopoly after all), which means it can be a pressure cooker and very political. How else to stand out? (2) Given that work/life balance is so amazing, the compensation is a bit lower than elsewhere. I think it's totally fair but something to be aware of. (3) On the Experience Cloud side, Adobe doesn't have the same level of experience as other companies. Adobe is not a traditional Enterprise software company, which means it's somewhat uneven. (4) Kind of hard to make a career progression, given how nice the work/life balance is. Arguably it's better to make a career elsewhere and then join Adobe later on in your career.
