Interviewed Oct 2011 in Orem, UT (took a day)
The interview was with 3 separate groups: the team leads, the entire storage team, and the manager alone.
All the interviews went well and I felt confident of my skills and the answers I provided. That said, Adobe is HUGE. They manage around 20 Pb of storage nationwide. As such, they require a person with a large amount of scripting knowledge in order to perform mass changes all at once. The 1-on-1 interview with the manager was a little strange. He asked some questions that were nearly impossible for me to answer. I was uneasy talking to him and he did not make me feel very comfortable. The workplace seems very modern and darkly-lit. The nearby cafe(s) made it feel as if I were in a hip little bistro the whole time - the smell of coffee was overwhelming.
The people were very nice and I would not have minded working with the team members.
Other Details
I Applied Online and the interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview and a Group/Panel Interview.

Interviewed Dec 2010 in San Francisco, CA (took 4+ weeks)
There were several rounds of phone interviews. These were mainly me talking about my experience and being asked questions based on my experience. I was also asked technical questions on language of my preference. In one of the phone interview I was asked to write code with screen sharing.
This was followed by 4 hours of in person interview, which included lunch. During interviews I was asked to write code on white board and solve puzzle.

Interviewed Nov 2009 (took 3 weeks)
Adobe runs people through a ton of interviews.. Many of the interviewers asked identical questions. Only one or two had challenging questions. A few cursory product questions but mostly focus on communications ability and ability to think and respond under pressure

Interviewed Nov 2010 (took 6 days)
The process was pretty standard, the phone call followed my application online. I reviewed with someone who sounded like they were in HR and was given a time for the interview with the 'team'. I came in a week later and was brought to a room where I met with three different people, one at a time.

Interviewed Nov 2010 (took 3 months)
My interview process consisted of 4 interviews.
Interview 1 -
This was a phone interview with the lead engineer. The main purpose of the interview was to assess my technical background and understand what devices/architectures I had experience with. It lasted roughly 45 minutes.
Interview 2 -
This was group interview with about 6 different team members. Again, there was a technical assessment, but mostly revolved around expanding what I had provided on my resume. They also took time to better explain the position and the expectations.
Interview 3 -
This was with the VP over the group. The focus was mostly why I wanted to work there and finalize any questions that I might have.
Interview 4 (same day as 3) -
Lunch with the team members - although it was in a much more social setting. The focus was merely to see how I interacted with the team.

Interviewed Aug 2011 (took 2 weeks)
Initial communications were through HR followed by a phone screen from the hiring manager. I was brought in for a full day of interviews, most local, one via video conference. It was standard stuff - why are you considering Adobe, what products have you used, etc.
While I absolutely loved my conversations with the architect and marketing person, I had the exact opposite vibe from the program manager people. Their questions were very abstract and they seemed pretty wound up.

Interviewed Sep 2009 (took 5 days)
Was contacted by someone I knew there re an upcoming contract position. Had initial conversation with that person re the project, the department, my relative experience and potential interest. Was then asked to submit a resume, examples of spreadsheets I had managed and sign paperwork to allow a bg check. Was then called in to meet with the Director and Senior Program Manager. We discussed the project, my relative experience and the dynamics of the various stakeholders involved in the project. Al in all it went well, and I got a good feeling for the team I would be working with.
Had to wait to hear back on final decision for a few days. received job offer and took it!
