I applied online. I interviewed at Adobe (Los Angeles, CA) in Sep 2020
Interview
I sent my resume over indeed.com and got an answer after 3-4 weeks of waiting. Had a chat with team lead in the department about my qualifications. Then got contacted by Another recruiter from Adobe regarding different position and scheduled an interview. Passed an interview quite well, I was told by interviewer that he will definitely recommend me for hire. But again, nothing folowed. Finally I got contacted by yet another person from Adobe, explained her what happened and was told that it's not uncommon at Adobe, and I will be contacted again by yet another team. This was my last conversation with them. Nothing followed. I think the hiring process there in a complete disarray.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I don't exactly recall. I think it was a couple of the "easy" leetcode style questions, along with a C++ quiz. Nothing too difficult.
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.

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
