My experience with the Adobe recruitment process for the Sr. Manager Talent Development position left me profoundly disappointed. Initially, I was thrilled to be contacted by Adobe's recruiters, given that Adobe had always been one of my dream companies. The role seemed tailored for my extensive skills and experience, making me eager to pursue the opportunity. During my initial conversation with the recruiter, my enthusiasm was further fueled when they expressed genuine interest in my profile after a thorough phone screening. I was assured of an interview with the hiring manager. However, my excitement was short-lived when I discovered that the manager was on PTO, causing a delay in the process. Subsequently, another recruiter, equally enthusiastic, conducted a follow-up interview, emphasizing my perfect fit for the role. Despite assurances of an immediate interview with the manager, I never received any further communication. After several days of silence, I received a brief rejection note, indicating they were moving forward with other candidates. Eager for feedback, I reached out to the hiring manager, only to face another rejection. The lack of response from the recruiters, despite my request for feedback, left me disheartened and deeply frustrated. While I understand that unintentional biases can influence hiring decisions, I couldn't help but wonder if my ethnic name played a role in my exclusion from the interview process. I acknowledge that this might not reflect Adobe's official policy. However, the inconsistency in communication and the absence of a response to my feedback request made me question the integrity of their hiring process. Regrettably, I feel that I wasted three weeks in the process, and Adobe missed the opportunity to bring on board a top expert in Skills Development and learning platform implementation.
