I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Adobe (Lehi, UT) in Apr 2015
Interview
The interview process was very relaxed and I got feedback during the interview which was a unique experience. I was taken into a open air room and asked about my experience in the field then I was quizzed on the technical aspects of the job. After that I was sent over to the Manager who then asked more personality based questions.

I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Adobe (San Jose, CA) in Jan 2015
Interview
Adobe contacted and recruited me for this role.
First, I had a phone screen interview with a recruiter. Then, I had an interview by telephone with the hiring manager. I was invited to Adobe for on-site interviews for nearly four hours. This part of the process was pretty quick (2-3 weeks). The recruiter and hiring manager confirmed that the interviews went well. They asked me to come back for a second round of on-site interviews.
Weeks went by with no information or updates. I checked in a couple of times. I was told that the interviewers were travelling and on holiday. But, they were still very interested in me and wanted me to come back in for a final round of interviews. More time went by (weeks...) I heard nothing. I did check during this time. The recruiter said he was working on the schedule and he would follow up with me within the next week. After another week and a half, The recruiter contacted with a brief "form letter" email that indicated that they decided that I was not a fit for the role.
Needless to say, I think their interview and follow-up process is flawed. All I can say is, be patient if you want to interview/work here. I've heard that this is a great place to work. Maybe they treat people better once they become employees? I interviewed at Google and they at least provided a phone call when this much time was invested in the interview/application process. I had a great experience with that recruiter and we are still in-touch re: career opportunities.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Adobe (San Jose, CA) in Mar 2015
Interview
Initially had a phone interview with an HR person with the typical questions about my background and desires. Then had an in-person interview with 5 people (30 min. each) that I'd be working with. No trick questions or anything, pretty standard. When I got home I saw an e-mail from them asking me to take an Excel test and turn it in a few days later. Wasn't too difficult at my level of expertise, but was a little time-consuming. Overall the interview was pleasant and stress-free.
