It seems like Adobe checks a lot of your boxes. The pay, from what I've seen personally, and tracked on Glassdoor seems pretty competitive. They've got great 401k, benefits, RSUs, bonuses, etc. All the engineering teams I've worked with are fairly forward thinking in both process and technology. Most teams use the hosted, enterprise GitHub for source control. There are a bunch of technical problems across the company spanning everything from researching photo/video manipulation, open source projects like Brackets, to a bunch of cool stuff going on as part of the Creative Cloud (or even analytics/big data in the Digital Marketing part of the company). The company will definitely be around in 3 years and is on a good trajectory. A lot of teams have an unofficial work from home day every week, and while "main" HQ is in San Jose, a lot of fun stuff is going on in the SF office. In general I've found it to be a great culture in terms of work-life balance as well as encouraging volunteer activities. |

Not only does it fit most of the criteria youve listed, Adobe technical leadership is becoming infused with alot of new blood since the acquisition of Day. Technologies like Apache Jackrabbit/Oak, Apache Sling, Apache Cordova/Phonegap are becoming integral pieces of Adobe's go to market on the DMS (Digital Marketing side - which is the lesser known enterprise offering side opposite the Creative Cloud/Creative Suite products).
It may be an big, "old" tech company, that gets a bit of grief for stale technologies like Flash, but IMO theyre moving in the right (and interesting) direction as quickly as their internal structures and market offerings allow.
