I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Adobe
Interview
two rounds of interviews including a screening and one with hiring manager. was asked to do an assignment after getting through those two rounds. did not get the job so can't speak to what happens afterwards. great communication amongst recruiters except at the end, had to follow up and see if i got moved onto the next round. (usually means no ha!)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why do you want to work at Adobe? Tell me about a time you had to stand up for someone else's opinion?
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Adobe (San Jose, CA) in Jan 2015
Interview
Adobe contacted and recruited me for this role.
First, I had a phone screen interview with a recruiter. Then, I had an interview by telephone with the hiring manager. I was invited to Adobe for on-site interviews for nearly four hours. This part of the process was pretty quick (2-3 weeks). The recruiter and hiring manager confirmed that the interviews went well. They asked me to come back for a second round of on-site interviews.
Weeks went by with no information or updates. I checked in a couple of times. I was told that the interviewers were travelling and on holiday. But, they were still very interested in me and wanted me to come back in for a final round of interviews. More time went by (weeks...) I heard nothing. I did check during this time. The recruiter said he was working on the schedule and he would follow up with me within the next week. After another week and a half, The recruiter contacted with a brief "form letter" email that indicated that they decided that I was not a fit for the role.
Needless to say, I think their interview and follow-up process is flawed. All I can say is, be patient if you want to interview/work here. I've heard that this is a great place to work. Maybe they treat people better once they become employees? I interviewed at Google and they at least provided a phone call when this much time was invested in the interview/application process. I had a great experience with that recruiter and we are still in-touch re: career opportunities.
