The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Adobe in Aug 2011
Interview
On campus selection.
First step is written round. It is very important to score high marks in it.
It consists of Aptitude test and Engineering Test.
Aptitude contained quantitative and qualitative type of questions. Qualitative questions were of pretty good level, and quantitative were easy.
Engineering test was divided in two. First was general questions on arrays, structs, unions, etc. with reference to C/C++. It was objective. Next test had algorithmic questions.
The interview phase consisted of 3 technical interviews and 1 HR interview.
All were very well planned at targeted different aspects. A good knowledge of algorithms, data structures, oops and basic of other computer science fundamentals is required.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Allocate memory for 2d matrix.
3 methods : using row+1, 2 and 1 malloc calls.
What can be wrong with using only one malloc call?
Which one is faster for accessing memory, out of method 1 and 2?
Write code for freeing this 2d array.
Applied through referral. Got direct interview call.
2 rounds :
1 Data Structures [Medium to Hard Question on Hackerrank ]
1 Low Level Design [Design Patterns required]
Brush all the generic questions of all DSA questions thoroughly.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
A situation based question on Hackerrank , which ultimately required BFS graph solution.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Adobe (Noida)
Interview
I was reached out by the recruiter for their Noida office.
The interview joined the call late and was in a hurry he was sweating(which doesn't affect me much we are all humans) he didn't spend much time introducing and directly we jumped to the question was around DFS on trees I told him the direct answer and data structure I would use but I think he was either busy in some work or not listing carefully, he asked me to think harder I gave him another approach he seemed disinterested and asked me to code it directly I coded the answer since we were already running short on time I just wanted him to understand by approach I coded it and he kept telling me this wouldn't return anything and asked me to check it I checked it and give him a dry run quickly and then the time was up. He asked if I had any questions he told me I returned the variable name wrong(spelling mistake) which kind of pissed me off since it was a text editor and i was under pressure with no fault of mine.

Question 1
Tree traversal indirectly was also asked which DS i would like to use in the problem
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Adobe (New Delhi) in June 2022
Interview
Test followed by 3 technical interview. Test consisted of medium coding questions + Aptitude.
Interview consisted question from ds and algo including concept of dp and trees. apart from this, a big focus was on Operating Systems.
