Interview Question – 1st and the 2nd rounds of interviews are tough. The most difficult questions were about DEP/ASLR. Knowing just the definition is not good enough, you should understand where these concepts are applied and where they can be exploited. View Answer

Release Manager at Adobe
No Offer – Interviewed in San Francisco, CA Jan 2009 – Reviewed Apr 29, 2011
Interview Details – First interviewed by the company recruiter, then interviewed by the manager of the open position. Next, I was interviewed by a team of 6 people which they did not prepare me for. I was told to be at the San Francisco office by 9am. I arrived and they took me to a conference room where I waited by myself while person after person came in and asked me questions. At one point I asked if I could go to lunch. They said "yes" but they would not permit me to eat at the on site cafe. I had to leave the building and come back for more interviewing. Eventually, I was let go at 5pm. It wasn't a very organized interview. I was not hired but I felt okay. I didn't care for the interview process at all.

Project Manager at Adobe
No Offer – Interviewed in San Francisco, CA May 2009 – Reviewed Jun 27, 2009
Interview Details – I was contacted by a 3rd party recruiter for a contract position. The recruiter found my resume online. I had an initial conversation with the recuriter that lasted about 25 minutes. The job requirements were very generic. My resume was forwarded to the hiring manager and a 45 minute phone screening with the hiring manager was scheduled for the following week. The interviewer was 25 minutes late for the call. When I did speak to her, she did not ask if I wanted to reschedule. She provided a brief overview of the position and the composition of her team. The interview only lasted 20 minutes as she had a hard stop in order to prep for her next meeting.
