Adobe's ranking for 2002 jumped twenty-two slots from its ranking in the previous year. The rankings are currently available at www.fortune.com . "We are honored that Adobe was one of only two Silicon Valley technology companies to make the top ten list of American employers this year," said Bruce Chizen, president and CEO of Adobe. "Our rapid ascent to the top of the list shows that what we do as a company is important, but how we do it is even more important. The core values of respect, integrity and innovation that Adobe was founded on 20 years ago are very much alive and well today. Having employees who feel valued and proud of where they work, especially in the current economy, makes the recognition even better."
