Interview
You will most likely meet with 3-4 Executive Assistants the first loop. They will want to dive deep into your background, how you problem solve, how you deal with challenges, your attitude during the stressful moments. Be excited about the products, familiarize yourself with them. The CEO is all about having employees use the products so if you don't use them yet, start using them. I would say Adobe as a whole is a very friendly nice environment. They are looking for EA's that are helpful and friendly and provide solutions not a "no person" but a "yes person". The second loop will be with those that you support directly and some of the Directors on the team. It's important to be authentic -- they want to see you and how you will integrate with the team.

Question 1
How do you navigate situations in which you believe your manager has made the incorrect choice?
I applied online. I interviewed at Adobe (London, England) in Oct 2025
Interview
I was sat waiting for my interview, 10 mins later there was no show. I emailed her and she said she didn't have it in her diary even though it was via a scheduling system. She said to reschedule the next day or Monday, I emailed her 3 times, immediately to respond to her message, the next day and Monday and was ignored. Unbelievably unprofessional and have no desire to work for this company if this is the culture.
The hiring process was excellent – very organized, and I appreciated the clear communication at each step. While I didn't receive an offer this time, the process itself was a positive experience.

Interview
Within the last 15 years, the interview process has been inconsistent. However, one thing that has been consistent is the lack of professionalism from different parts of the process. It’s been disappointing to experience.

“When is a good time to contact you”? Then I either don’t hear back or after I’ve followed up after a week, then again 2nd follow up, I would finally get a response. The cycle repeats it self
