I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Adobe (Amherst, MA) in Nov 2021
Interview
Asked about my research interests and what I am going to do in my PhD. The interview was around an hour long, and there were two people present. There were no coding questions and mostly conceptual stuff around the implication and possible impact of my research.
