Adobe - a gem in the valley

Financial analyst

Pros

Adobe is an innovative company with a talented work force who pride themselves on the product and working smart. Everyone works hard, but also recognizes the importance of balance between work and life. It is a great Company to work for, and one of the best in the Silicon Valley.

Cons

While Adobe is a great company to work for, the one downside it has (from my experience) is that there are limited opportunities for growth. Unlike larger companies within the valley, there is not a formal rotation program, so movement (lateral or upward) is dependent on the growth of the Company (at least within the finance organization). You must be proactive about seeking out opportunities for growth.

Adobe is very underrated and under-appreciated, don't pass up an opportunity to work here.

Pros

As an engineer this is perhaps the best place I have ever worked for. I have worked for a lot of companies but they were either too hard on me or I had nothing interesting to work on. At Adobe if you prove that you are good, you get to work on some neat things and it is nice to know that the products Adobe makes, are well respected and in most cases the best out there. And things like telecommute option, benefits, compensation, ton of paid vacation, great work environment helps a little :)

Cons

Not much ... we have free beverages, espresso machines but no free lunch!!! But I head San Jose folks get free dinner if they stay till 7 PM. Seriously, I am very happy here.
