I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Adobe (Noida) in June 2015
Interview
I have an experience of 4 years in Java development with service based MNCs.
Interview was average, two online rounds of aptitude and C.
Difficulty level of C aptitude quiz was 2/5, and aptitude was 4/5. (5 being the hardest)
After the two rounds I had 4 technical interviews + 1 HR round, that took a full working day (~8 hours which included lunch)
In the interviews, they mainly focus on puzzles and problem solving rather than programming.
This is Software Engineer (WBT profile), hence I wasn't asked to code or wasn't tested on my knowledge of Java/C language.
I was told to write standard simple programs for linked lists, arrays, string manipulation with minimum complexity. (Repeatedly told to reduce complexity to O(n) )
Apart from that be prepared to write test cases for any functionality/thing etc.
You will be asked 2/3 puzzles in each round, be prepared.
P.S This profile is a mixture of Black Box and White Box testing.
If you are from testing background then only this profile would suit you.
The interview process consisted of two technical interviews and one interview with the hiring manager - one coding interview about a very simple two sum problem, and another one about ml knowledge in general. The hiring manager interview has to test if I would be a good fit for the team.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Two sum leetcode and ml questions about llms and other ml topics.
Started with 1 recruiter round
It then proceeded towards a conversation with the Hiring Managers.
Lastly, there were 4 onsite rounds in 2 different bursts (first 2 at the same time, and if accepted then the last 2 at a single go)
Coding Challenge style of questions followed by a system design challenge that includes easy and medium problems to solve. Done on the whiteboard with the help of interviewers back and forth
