Very long and in-depth interview process, but they were always connected and communicative along the way. Applied online and reached out to hiring director on LinkedIn. Went through a series of phone interviews (6 1/2 hour interviews) that led to a a final round in-person consisting of 4 more 1/2 hour interviews plus a presentation on Adobe products.Verbal offer given that day but contract was on hold due to hiring freeze. After 2 months of waiting on this role, was told the funding for this role was pulled. I remained in touch and was recommended for another team and went through the entire process again. Was given an offer 2 weeks after the final round interview and presentation. Lots of tough questions about industry knowledge, how my experience can fit into the role and behavioral questions. However, each person was very nice which helped my decision to accept.

I was disappointed to have had such an unfortunate interview experience after hearing so many positive things about Adobe. The process started with a last-minute reschedule request from the recruiter, followed by her arriving 10 minutes late to the rescheduled interview. While the recruiter was transparent about the delay ("talking with a coworker and completely forgot we were supposed to connect"), it did set an inconsistent tone for the process. That said, the role and team itself seemed interesting, and I appreciated the insight shared during the initial conversation. After what felt like an otherwise positive conversation, I was told that I would be moving forward to the next round (a 1:1 with the hiring manager) and would hear back within a day or two to schedule. However, I did not receive any follow up for almost three weeks despite checking in multiple times with the recruiter on next steps. After sending these unanswered emails, I ultimately received a generic rejection with no additional context. Overall, while Adobe has a strong reputation, the communication and coordination throughout this process did not reflect the level of professionalism I was expecting, particularly for a candidate experience at this stage.
