Pros

We create tools that enable creative expression that's never before been possible! Adobe understands what it takes to ship world-class software; we have a software development process that's sane, challenging, intuitive, and which ensures that we maintain a semblance of work / life balance.

Cons

Our competence is sometimes punished by further responsibility. "You did THAT, without additional headcount? Well, let's see if you can do even BETTER, without additional headcount!" "Great job meeting those aggressive quarterly numbers. Here are some BIGGER numbers to beat. Recession? WHAT recession?" I kid, but Adobe wrings every bit of productivity from its groups. Our 'modular' approach to software development allows this to work. Under-performers don't last long at Adobe, which is good for our corporate DNA.

Pros

The pay and benefits and that is it.

Cons

I have never worked anywhere that cared less about the humanity of its employees. Perhaps this is standard for tech - but the way I've been treated makes me feel like they are either looking for an excuse to fire me or want me to quit, and I've been here less than a year. Everyone is paranoid and gatekeeps information so they feel job security but then lashes out when you don't know enough to help them. This company needs to change everything if it wants to survive.
