A web analytics company in my neck of the woods (Omniture) was acquired by Adobe a couple of years ago. I've talked with a dozen employees there and I've heard nothing but good about it from both the business and technical sides of the house (I interviewed there to see for myself a couple of months ago). Adobe's leadership still seems to have the "founder" mentality and gives their acquisitions (at least this one) relative autonomy to continue to do what they do well in addition to solid financial backing and all of the nice resources of a big company (benefits, software discounts, etc.) Adobe is helping them expand with a brand new building with great freeway access. This will also help them attract new hires because it will be about 10 miles closer to a much larger metropolitan area than their existing campus (which is about as far from the freeway as you can get). So +1 for Adobe.
