Pros

Adobe is an amazing company to work for...the best infact. Fantastic products, great employee spirit and energy and good compensation. I was always proud to tell people i worked at adobe. When i started Adobe was a company much like apple....without certain individuals egos... The exposure to different cultures, travel opportunities and management were all inspirational. during the 2001 - 2005 period the stock price and employee stock purchase plan along with option were phenominal... i bought my first townhouse with them!

Cons

post macromedia merger things changed dramatically...it was for all intensive purposes reverse take over, which was a very bad thing. for all intensive purposes we were beating macromedia, we were more profitable and we had much better people, but for some reason, macromedia management was placed in key roles and put their own people in charge...this was a slap in face for long time adobe staff. in many ways, we lost some of that culture and took on macromedias,which was not as friendly...
