Adobe Senior Software Developer reviews

Manager is everything, lack of transparency Some managers are really bad and they don't treat you well No competitor in NCR area like Microsoft, Google etc so management take advantage of that in giving you appraisals as you don't have a place to go in NCR

In my first 9 years, during boom times, I had no promotions and no raises beyond cost of living (and not always even that). I'm good at what I do, but I didn't take career management seriously enough during those 9 years. No one so much as mentioned the word "career" to me until this year. I finally managed a promotion and a small raise; it was like pulling teeth. Adobe is crowded with talented people, and focuses pretty heavily on cost control, and unless you're lucky, it's hard to find ways to move up.
