      Pros

      talented people. interesting technology good working environment (hardware)

      Cons

      Constantly moving project to India and intentionally keep us department under-resourced. No paid PTO, you can get 3 weeks PTO for a year,if you are lucky to have a good manager to allow you to do that, or you get nothing when you leave the company. company used to give out profit share every quarter, not any more

      Adobe needs to worry about employees and products, not wall street

      Pros

      Great co-workers. Work-life balance is better than most other companies. Adobe's doing exciting things--if we succeed, we'll have a huge, positive impact on how others do their work.

      Cons

      Adobe still isn't a bad place to work, but from the employee perspective, it definitely seems to be on the decline. With layoffs, cost-cutting measures by removing time off and benefits, morale on most teams is really low. Management seems more worried about appeasing Wall Street than running a successful, impactful business where employees are happy and excited.

      A once great company - No longer innovative or employee-friendly, but still a leader.

      Pros

      Great products, smart colleagues, generous benefits (health, 401K matching, sabbatical, time off at managers' discretion - this is good if you have an understanding manager), flexible telecommuting program, a friendly, collaborative team atmosphere, pretty buildings with nice offices with doors you can shut, good corporate citizen.

      Cons

      Limited opportunity for advancement or professional growth. Middle management weak and scared. Too many turf wars. Powerful been-there-forever cliques. Reporting structure lame, it allows family members and romantic relationships to report to one another .Sending too many jobs to India and China, Difficult communication as teams are split up among US, India, China which weakens collaborative efforts, Annual layoffs each year ruin morale.
