Below is the process, which I had gone through.
1. 3 technical round (1 hr)
2. Director round (1 hr)
3. Programming round (Assignment will be give)

I was called for direct interview. The first 3 technical rounds were gotten over by the same day itself. I was told that feedback of mine is positive and I will be called for Director round some other day.
After 5 days, I was called for the Director round, seems he was happy too and he said HR will get back to you.

Question 1
What is difference between tomcat and a web server?
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Adobe (Bengaluru) in Aug 2017
Interview
Got call through referral. Experience was really a negative one. After clearing the telephonic round, I was invited for a face to face interview. Was requested to come for a interview on next working day. Took a half day leave to reach there. Got to know that it was video conference. Really disappointed. I took all the pain to come to their office(Took a half day leave). Keeping my work on hold & there, I see that it was a video interview.Which I could have taken from anywhere.
Post which I did not had the motivation to proceed further. Wrapped up my interview for the sake of it and left.
Post which I have not received any updates. So, I am guessing that I have not been selected.
