Adobe reviews

Management does not have a promote from within culture, outsiders are always seen to have something insiders do not. There can be croneyism and favoritism when it comes times for raises and promotion. It's completely at your leaders discretion. There are both great leaders and not great leaders at Adobe.

In some (but certainly not all) of the departments outside the software business units - like in the Field organization, there is an enormous amount of opportunity, but the atmosphere can be so competitive and unsupportive that it's difficult to succeed, and when you succeed, it's still difficult to be happy and dedicated there.
