Adobe has its training centers at Noida and Bangalore (India centers) which employ around 700 employees together, most of them working as product development analysts taking up various jobs related to this area.

This is being done to map the standards of training that Adobe offers to its employees to what Microsoft is giving its trainees. Their aim is to analyze and determine the organization’s product development team and the hierarchy maintained by the people at Adobe India at various levels. This would help Microsoft determine the loopholes in their training and placement methods.

As the cut throat competition related to development of Web development applications and software’s for handheld devices is on its all time rise, monitoring each others intellectual growth is phenomenal.

On this account Microsoft gave a prompt reply by stating that Microsoft India employs people at all levels including evolving fresh graduates, experienced people as well as employs of Microsoft from other parts of the world who are willing to migrate to this country. They offer excellent pay scales with respect to the set of skills and experience an individual possesses. There are various routes to get into their firm that includes on campus recruitment, through employment agencies, though the internet and also by recommendations from the current employees working there. Experienced individuals in the same industry and even from direct competitors are employed by them to gain an extra edge. On the other hand Adobe refused to comment on this issue.

This is truly a smart move on the part of Microsoft to help enhance the output of their employees and make a better position in the field of Web development and handheld software technology.
