My experience with the interview process was deeply disappointing and unprofessional. The HR team initially outlined a three-round process:
Technical round
Technical & Managerial round
Managerial round
After successfully completing all three rounds, I received a call and email from HR detailing the offer. However, the offer matched my current salary, which was unreasonable given that I had clearly communicated my salary expectations well in advance.
For the next week, HR and the hiring team provided numerous excuses for the delay in updating the salary figure. After multiple follow-ups, they introduced an additional requirement for two more rounds with the heads of departments, supposedly for salary approval.
After a brief 15-minute interview, HR suddenly communicated that they could not move forward with my application. This was the first time I have encountered such bad faith from a company of Adobe's stature. They confirmed I had cleared all rounds, provided an initial offer, made me wait unnecessarily for an updated salary figure, introduced additional rounds, and then used these rounds as a pretext to reject my application.
This experience suggests a lack of respect and transparency towards candidates, raising serious concerns about the company's hiring practices.
