After recruiter and hiring manager screening interviews, made it to the main panel of 5 interviews with various team members. Had a great time with the first 3 interviews. Everyone was super-friendly and it was easy to work through various topics including a puzzle solving exercise, "soft" questions on how to interact with other team members, and a few more technical coding questions. One of the interviewers even joked about how everyone knows these interviews aren't really a good indicator of who's a good fit for the job, and how it can be "luck of the draw" about whether you get through to an offer. I guess it was a sign of what was to come, because the next interview had a huge tonal shift from the others. The interviewer was far less friendly, and wasted a lot of my time working on a coding problem going over minutiae and offering some misleading answers to questions. Needless to say, this interview didn't go well and probably tanked my chances of an offer. The entire process took over two months, and also involved some extremely slow response times from the recruiters, who initially tried to schedule the interview panel at a time I had said I was unavailable, at short notice after a 10 day silence. Ultimately, what could have been a great experience just became another pointless corporate interview process. Adobe does seem like a good company to work for, but apparently they don't feel like they have to make their interview process that great, given their prominence and the current market conditions.

There were 2 rounds (I got rejected after the second round). Both rounds happened on the same day, within a gap of 2 hrs - 1. DSA and JS basics - 1 hr 2. DSA and JS/ReactJS basics - 1 hr
