I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Adobe (Indore) in May 2016
Interview
technical interviews were pure technical. there were 3 technical interviews and 1 HR interview. I enjoyed the process as it made me to think a lot.They asked puzzles, made me to write codes. Question were from all the CS subjects like Software engineering, Artificial intelligent etc.... but frequent questions were from data structures and algorithms.
Note that they want the exact answer and not a close answer however they will guide somewhat you how to get if you are stuck.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Some of the questions are listed below:
1. Write a C program to delete a node from a tree.
2. Merge two sorted linked lists to from a new sorted linked list without creating a new list i.e. with least space complexity. Also write its space and time complexity and test cases to test your code.
3.How would you test a login page. Mention test cases.
4.Three puzzles. first one was racing horse puzzle, second one was missionary cannibal problem and third one is mentioned below
There are 10 containers marked as 1 to 10. Each container contain 10 coins. each coin weighs 100 grams but there is one container which contains coins weighing 90 grams. Find that odd container in single iteration.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Adobe in Dec 2024
Interview
with referal, recieved direct email invite, no phone call, great experience, whitebaord for coding questions, hints were given, approach was aksed, polite process, advice given to improve abd enhance for next time.
Interview questions [4]
Question 1
convert infix to postfix (Input: A + B * C + D
Output: ABC*+D+
Input: ((A + B) – C * (D / E)) + F
Output: AB+CDE/*-F+
print repeating in o(n)(input-1,2,3,4,2,3,5, output-2,3}
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Adobe (Bengaluru) in Mar 2024
Interview
Got call from HR and scheduled interview after one week. There were totally 5 rounds. First three rounds are online video interviews mostly on DSA. After that techno managerial rounds
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Question we’re on writing programs based on data structures and algorithms
1. Find target sum index of given list
2. Best time to sell shares problem
*DSA and Coding*
Two coding questions:
- max and min occurance in a string
- pairs whose sum = x in an int array
*Testing*
Asked to define test strategy and test cases for business case:
- Watsapp group creation feature
- Big billion day
*Quality Assurance*
Asked to define test strategy and test cases for business case. Discussion went deep into code level:
- New microservice in an existing product
*Coding & Language Internals*
One coding question and test framework questions (what you are interviewed) :
- move all negative numbers to left end of integer array
- Loads of language questions were also asked
*Coding & Structural Understanding*
One coding question and asked to define and write framework level of functional structure for a given problem.
- Remove all vowels
- Write code structure of printer functionality (more of how dev would write it using OOPs concepts and SOLID principles)
*Manager*
Scenario based test strategy questions were asked assuming you are leading the test efforts in a project
*Director*
More of less similar to manager round with some questions from past experience
