Pros

Adobe offers great benefits for full-time employees, such as free ride for taking CalTrain, $100 commute expense, $30 for fitness expense per month, $10k education assistance program, free drink(milk, sodas, oj, etc), 15% discount on stock purchasing program, almost up to 4 weeks of PTO per calendar year, granting stocks to new hires, employees discount with many well-known vendors(Apple, IBM, etc), and most importantly I really like the free classes and trainings on their greatest products, including Photoshop, Flash, Flex, AIR, etc. Also, you will get a chance to work in one of the leading software company in the world, and they dominate the market basically with very little competition. The company is always profitable and therefore job security is better at Adobe. Although the recent financial crisis will affect Adobe at a certain degree, I think we are doing better than many of the companies out there. I worked for some online advertising agency in the past and if they lost a client or an account, you are screwed.

Cons

Too many layers and too much process. Sometimes it is quite hard to find information or wikis for instructions and procedures to do certain things. One simple task might take forever to finish just because it needs to go through many people.

You cannot beat the city of San Francisco!

Company is not growing much recently, which reflects to your personal ability to switch positions or grow career faster.

Pros

Good, growing company. There's a lot of room for growth still. Adobe is strongly poised to benefit from the wave of next-generation Web applications and services. One of the biggest advantages that Adobe has is its strong track-record of tapping trends and making them work to its own benefit. I would see the company as a front-runner as the world gears up to make the shift from shrink-wrapped applications to Web 2.0, Web 3.0 and so forth. The Macromedia acquisition has given Adobe a strong headstart and the management is competent enough to carry the momentum forth.

Cons

Long hours and challenging timelines.
