Pros

Good people, open communications, and an honest core.

Cons

Difficult to get them to follow instinctive paths. Very data driven company for decision making. Works well for existing products but makes it hard to start new endeavors.

Pros

Adobe is great place to work because of the following; - Excellent Benefits - Great Career Development with both Management and Technical paths - Smart Creative People building cool products - Good Base Compensation + Profit Sharing + Quarterly Incentive Bonus's + Product Ship Bonus's = $$$ - Flexible schedules and work at home opportunities - Employee Software Purchase program is great and allows you to buy many of the more expensive Adobe products at a fraction of the cost. - Employee Parking Garage in SF for employees willing to pay a small monthly fee (Those that work in SF will know the advantages of this) - Swag / Booty - It does not take long to build up an Adobe Logo wardrobe that you would not be embarrassed to ware in public. - Good Leadership that empowers their employees to make decisions at the right levels.

Cons

The company is made up of a number of silo's (a.k.a. Business Units), and it can often be difficult to work across them, as budgets and location can become hurdles. The Adobe IT group is also very challenging to work with and it often requires knowing multiple people across multiple teams just to get simple tasks done.

Pros

Great culture, people are smart and laid back. San Francisco office is gorgeous. Great cafeteria, SOMA location, and shuttles to and from. Cube architecture works particularly well here -- the developers decorate their space, giving each branch of the office its own unique look. Definitely the best take on a cube farm I've ever seen. Products are also fantastic. It's nice being able to tell your friends that you have PDF, Flash, and Photoshop under your belt. One of the few places where you have well-known products and people don't draw immediate assumptions about you (Microsoft = Evil, Google = Weird, etc.).

Cons

Normal big-company woes, San Jose office is a drag
