      Pros

      1. Flexibility to work anywhere and anytime. 2. The benefits are great. 3. In general, lots of smart and interesting people.

      Cons

      People work a lot, so I'm not sure that there is as much work/life balance as they say that there is.

      Riding past successes, hopefully continues to survive, pretends to be progressive but is actually fairly insular.

      Pros

      Interesting products, reasonable work-life balance, and they are trying do innovate and move beyond their core products. Good relative salaries. Macromedia aquisition helped to dilute the stifling old-boys club.

      Cons

      You need to be in the club - this is no meritocracy - it's an old-boys club. Thus if you aren't in this club - and it take years to be included - you will suffer an extremely slow path of development and promotion. If rapid growth is important to you, then you'll need to look elsewhere. Unfortunately a fair number of members of the 'club' have been at Adobe for a decade (or more), and they seem to feel like there is some time-based 'dues' that need to be paid. If you are a woman, it is also more difficult to get past Director level. There are very few that actually own product/revenue.

      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.
