      A good place to work

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Excellent culture with friendly, social people and a general attitude that personal life should be balanced with work life.

      Cons

      Little accountability, a lot of confusionb etween the various groups in IT, many parallel efforts going on at once. A lot of meetings in which not too much seems to get done. HR is not really involved in a lot of things the way they should be, especially revolving around new hire education and assisting individuals with career advancement at Adobe. There are very few events which are held involving the company as the whole, but this may be difficult for organizaitons of this size.

      Great place to work with a true mission

      Pros

      There is a lot of pride in what we do at Adobe; we help people create great stuff and do their work with less hassle, and that is very satisfying. The company cares about employees a lot, and does a pretty good job with work-life balance; the typical Adobean is a 'nice' person. The business is also very strong; growing and highly profitable. There is a definite sense of mission at Adobe, and if you are capable and motivated, there is a real chance for you to be able to 'put a dent in the universe' and change the way the world looks, works and plays (look at Photoshop, PDF, Flash and Flash Video for examples).

      Cons

      There is a strong concensus culture, which can occasionally get in the way of effective decision making. Coupled with that is that sometimes people can be a little 'too nice'...not that there isn't lively debate or room for dissent, but depending on your style you may occasionally feel the need to bang or knock heads a little harder (or maybe you'd be glad that you don't have to bang/knock heads as much as where you work today ;-).

      We could be so much better if we'd focus on the customer again.

      Pros

      Life Balance, professional growth, flexibility, great people, an opportunity to work on a product that I love, and be involved in making it better.

      Cons

      Bad reputation in many circles, poor focus on core competencies. Adobe is making many (seemingly) segmented attempts at entering many markets, but seems to lack an overall vision of where it's all going. Apple has the digital lifestyle, Adobe has a conglomeration of many different kinds of customers it has earned or bought over the years. Bundling software isn't enough, they need to create a world for it to live in.
