I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Adobe (Chicago, IL) in Jan 2025
Interview
The interview process was rigorous but very exciting and rewarding. You'll start with a standard phone screening done with a recruiter. From there, there is an interview with the hiring manager. If all goes well, you'll move on to the final interview which includes a role-play challenge and a face-to-face interview with the hiring manager and another peer in the organization. Should everything go well there, you should receive an offer from the recruiter.

Question 1
Describe what 'grit' means to you and how you apply it in your everyday life.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Adobe in Jan 2025
Interview
I interviewed for a senior frontend end position at Adobe. The steps were a recruiter phone screen, hiring manager interview, and on site with 4 technical interviews with various team members.
They will ask a mix of knowledge based questions and coding challenges. They make you screen share and do not let you google anything. One of the interviewers asked me to use a built in function and got angry when I asked to google it because I wanted to see what the parameter format was. Some of the interviewers did not know the answers to their own questions and tried to argue incorrect answers, which I could not confirm at the time due to the screen share, but confirmed afterwards.
The worst interview I've done solely based on the attitude of the interviewers. Thankfully the interviews are with the direct team members because it will give you a glimpse of what you'll have to deal with if you get an offer.
