I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Adobe (Denver, CO) in Nov 2018
Interview
I spent a little over a month going through several different steps in the interviewing process, taking quite a bit of time for multiple phone and in-person interviews, compiling resources and materials, etc. Got through to the last stage and then was completely ghosted by the recruiter. If you're going to drag someone through the muck for a month, at least have the decency to say "no."
During the interviews, the conversation was driven by the peer I'd be working with or the VP I'd be reporting to. 90% of the conversation was them complaining about various specific problems they were having. The last stage was 3 hours long - I probably talked for 10 minutes total. It was awkward and uncomfortable. It was almost more of a test of pain endurance than actually discussing the value I could bring to the issues they were having.
In summary: Hiring and recruiting is the first impression of a company, and I can tell they do not value their candidates. Surely they do not value their actual employees. Also, advice for Marketo is to streamline your interview process. This was the messiest and strangest and longest series of interviews I've ever had.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The questions i was asked were quite specific to problems that they had and were trying to fix. But they were not asked in a logical format of any kind. It was more like "here is a VERY SPECIFIC problem we have, let me complain about it for 15 minutes," then sit in silence and wait for a response from the candidate.
