Business Outlook

Pros

It offers a generous personal space with individual offices, co-workers are great; people you'd like to hang out with after work. The company has market recognition primarily via Acrobat and Flash.

Cons

The bonus freeze was a real shoddy deal. Moreover layoffs and no long term growth plans have left a bad taste in mouth. No new innovative idea has come out of company after Acrobat.

Business Outlook

Pros

- Stocked Kitchen, Beer Bashes on Fridays - Lunches are well prepared by chefs (not free though) - Very passionate and smart people - Very fun and relaxed atmosphere to work in. "Work Hard, Play Hard" - Awesome game room - People are very open minded and willing to listen to your opinion and ideas and courteous as well - Good pay, cool perks like free fitness reimbursement

Cons

- Very flat organization structure, hard to get promoted and move onto other positions - Mature company, goes to the first point, a lot of people are settled in their positions so its hard to move up, you may have to go to another company then come back to higher position - The yearly layoffs - Upper management is not taking risks in new products, very conservative and reliant on the core products (photoshop, flash, etc.)

Adobe WAS a great company once, but in recent years it has forgotten the principals setup by the founders.

Pros

Still a lot of good employees work at adobe.

Cons

Lack of clear direction by senior management, lack of long term vision. It seems the company's sole business strategy is to cut cost by out sourcing work to India. People are leaving.
