I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Adobe (Bengaluru) in Sep 2014
Interview
Mainly 5 rounds in which 2 are tester rounds and then HR
Good company but HR was not professionally skilled.
So I was contacted from an Staffing agency for the Interview with Adobe where they told you will have total 5 rounds of Interview and each round will be an elimination round (3 Technical 2 with Mangaer adn HR).
The most awkward experience I had that this interview was for experienced people where on average people were having 5 to 10 years of experience from different -2 reputed company.
1st unexpected round was screening round where HR asked to tell him about urself in the room where other 30-40 people are also there.
After sometime he called around 20 people out of the room and said you people might be very good in Technical side but your communication skill is not good so you can leave now(Just like he is interviewing a fresher and checking his communication).
He was giving his feedback to a group of people where some people were serving senior role and some people were serving lead role in there organization and his feedback was that person's communication is not good and that also in front of everyone.
I think adobe is now working as BPO that's why they are looking for very good English Speaking People.
And if they only want to check communication They can do some discussion over the phone and get the idea about communication skill no need to ask the person to come there and waste the time.
The mentor carried a phone interview to talk about research. For research intern, they focus on if your background match their requirements. And then the mentor have the right to decide for an offer.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Adobe in Jul 2014
Interview
