Interviewed Dec 2009 in Newton, MA (took 4+ weeks)
I applied to San Jose, CA position online. Then an HR person representing the Newton, MA office contacted me, which was win-win because I live in Boston and I had contacts also working for or with the Newton office. After a phone interview with two managers, I came in to the office, gave a presentation of my past work, and then had video-conference based interviews with five people.
Everyone sounded interested in my work, and we had a good series of back-and-forth discussions about the current technology used at Adobe and what sort of changes might be made in the future.
It was not a cake-walk of an interview (e.g. I did have to prepare a presentation), but I felt like I was engaging a set of peers, rather than talking to people attempting to intimidate me or prove that they were smarter than I am.

Interviewed Apr 2008 (took a day)
Had 2 phone interviews which were not too technical. People were very nice. Went to San Fransisco for an on site interview. These were very technical and involved coding problems involving recursion and tree traversal as well as others. Looks like a great place to work.

Interviewed Apr 2007 in Bangalore (India) (took 2 days)
The first round of screening was a written test comprising of questions in C, both subjective and Objective. The standard of the test was good.
After a few days , I got a call for the on-site interview. 4 interviews were conducted which lasted for about 3-4 hours. One of them was through video-conferencing. The interviews stressed a lot on data structures and coding, primarily data structures.
