I applied online. I interviewed at Adobe in Apr 2021
Interview
Started off normal enough, but after a couple months turned out to be one of the worst experiences. The first time, I went through 4 rounds with 7 different people to make it to the end only to find out they hired someone internally. Disappointing but it happens. They shared a similar opportunity to see if I was interested so I went through at least 3 more rounds with several people. Made it to the final round and got GHOSTED. Unfortunately this isn't uncommon early in the process, but I got ghosted after TEN interviews. Is sent 3 follow up emails and after investing several hours of my life over the span of 2+ months and wasn't even given the courtesy of a rejection note. I really really admired this company but this completely changed my perspective.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Walk me through a project or business problem you've worked on and how you approached it.
I completed all rounds of interviews (including the presentation round) but there is silence since a month now. It is very odd that a company like Adobe hesitates so much to simply reject a candidate. HR told me that my candidature is on hold and they wish to interview other candidates which is completely fine but you cannot expect to keep a profile on hold for more than a month since the last interview. Just be honest and reject a candidate - cannot keep someone hanging like this. Just send a rejection email if you're not sure about the candidate and continue interviewing others till you find the right one. Painfully slow interview process.

I applied online. I interviewed at Adobe (Seoul) in June 2022
Interview
Screening with HR then passed to department head or managing director, overall process is not difficult, and took about 1-2weeks in between. Smooth screening mostly about previous work, more project related questions in step 2.
