      Adobe can be a great place to work, but has lost some of its ways

      Pros

      You get to work on products that people LOVE using. For people who are married and have kids, Adobe is probably as good of a place you'll find in Silicon Valley balancing work-life.

      Cons

      Adobe has gotten to become quite BIG company especially after the acquisition of Macromedia. Traditionally, Adobe has been a very conservatively managed company and leads to analysis paralysis for every decision and moves slowly... Adobe was "late" to the Internet, and is still sort of catching up. Adobe traditionally likes to make small "bets" rather than back a few big ones, though Adobe is spending a lot of resources on Adobe-Integrated-Runtime (AIR).

      Pros

      Good salary & benefits, intelligent co-workers who are passionate about the products they work on, and being associated with some of the best products in the business. I know that sounds like I've drunk the kool-aid, but I truly believe our products kick ass and that the roadmap we've got is a solid one. The SF office had a convenient location, a decent cafeteria, and is very commuter-friendly, with shuttle buses running from both CalTrain and BART stations. Plus, it's a nice ego boost to work for a company that everyone, even folks outside the tech business, has heard of.

      Cons

      The usual problem of a large corporation -- it takes a long time and a LOT of meetings to get things to happen. And with employees spread out all over the place, you spend far too much of your time doing email and phone conferences rather than talking face-to-face. Also, some deadwood; Adobe does not like to fire people so bad hires tend to get shuffled around rather than simply axed. The SF office, although nicely furnished, is a cube farm and the noise and lack of privacy can be distracting. On the other hand, the SJ office, where everyone has an office, is like a tomb.

      Adobe - Great Place to Work

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great company, great work environment, great benefits. Company allows for strong growth potential and is very rewarding of employee achievements. Employee contribution to overall success of the company is continuously recognized and rewarded.

      Cons

      The dispursed locations within specific functional units across the world can make it somewhat difficult to get things done quickly. Everyone is on a different time zone and it's difficult to coordinate to suit everyone.
