Pros

My team and I write code that is executed on over a billion computers -- 98% of the world's internet-connected computers. No other company has a product that can boast this. We brought TV to the internet, and won a freakin' Emmy award for it. I feel extremely privileged and happy to be working at Adobe. My co-workers are geniuses, all as smart as the guys at Google.

Cons

Senior management is getting greedy and insecure, and it shows in some of their big decisions.

Pros

Talented, smart, hardworking employees. A lot of flexibility and autonomy in how one approaches one's job and gets projects accomplished.

Cons

Benefits have been cut over the past two years. Limited opportunities for advancement especially if you're not located in the the Bay Area. Turf wars among senior management sometimes means good ideas don't see the light of day. Priorities changing frequently (which is fine) but lack of explanation makes it difficult to understand what the sr. mgmt team is thinking.

Great company, but possibly in decline.

Pros

Good culture, although declining. Lots of opportunity, if you are proactive and push it. Solid benefits, although declining. Excellent work/life balance, if you want it.

Cons

Sr. Management becoming much more insular. Seem to becoming more tone deaf- to wall street, to customers, and even to our own employees. Transparency- once a hallmark of Adobe, is declining. Clinging to a shrink wrap world.
