Adobe reviews

As time went on things started to go down hill and the cracks started to show. First, there is no opportunity to progress (max you can achieve is 'Senior BDR' and good luck getting anything past that). The 'knowledge gap' is too big between BDR and AE or BDR and SAM. When those jobs open, BDRs are never seriously considered. Your chances of success are limited to whatever patch is assigned to you. Some BDRs cruise through exceeding targets with little effort, other BDRs hustle and fall short. The inbound/outbound disparity accross patches made it an uneven playing field. Quota allocation makes no sense. Low targets are allocated to the high achieving patches, and high targets are allocated to the harder patches covering the less popular solutions. There is constant restructuring and an unclear vision for some solutions, especially Adobe Commerce. BDRs are now also being held accountable for booking opportunities, which has always been the responsibility of the AE. The switch from Salesforce to Dynamics 360 was chaos. We went from a system that worked well, to one that is awful in every way, elongates the admin process by hours and was imposed on us without taking any consideration of our requirements. Managers make a difference. My original manager was great (a bit hands-off but was always there when needed and genuinley helpful and encouraging), the newer manager is a micromanaging nightmare who pretends to care about the team.

If I could rate less than 1/5, I would. HR, or as they call it, ERC department is just plain awful/useless. You're the bad guy if you make a complaint. "We're going to offer you a generous amount of bereavement leave, but if you decide to use it we're going to treat you like some 💩 we just stepped in." Managers are basically allowed to do what they want, and are perfectly allowed to try and derail your career. They can put you in low standing with the company for no justifiable reason, and then even if you want to try and improve yourself, you are no longer allowed the resources to do that. They also misreport your salary to HMRC so that they think you've been paid vast amounts more than they've paid you (i.e. they duplicate monthly entries), and when you email ERC to tell them, they ignore you and ghost you. Meanwhile, the tax man is taking a 4 figure number out your paycheque each month because they don't know any better. And when you finally get hard evidence that you've been subject to constructive dismissal and open up a grievance with the company, they will ignore you and ghost you seemingly in the hope that you will go past the 3 month mark of you leaving, meaning you would be unable to go through an employment tribunal process.
