I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Adobe in Jan 2025
Interview
I interviewed for a senior frontend end position at Adobe. The steps were a recruiter phone screen, hiring manager interview, and on site with 4 technical interviews with various team members.
They will ask a mix of knowledge based questions and coding challenges. They make you screen share and do not let you google anything. One of the interviewers asked me to use a built in function and got angry when I asked to google it because I wanted to see what the parameter format was. Some of the interviewers did not know the answers to their own questions and tried to argue incorrect answers, which I could not confirm at the time due to the screen share, but confirmed afterwards.
The worst interview I've done solely based on the attitude of the interviewers. Thankfully the interviews are with the direct team members because it will give you a glimpse of what you'll have to deal with if you get an offer.

-using function chaining and an array of objects: 1. Sort the array by attribute, 2. Convert object attributes to sentence case, 3. Return an array of strings built from the objects
The interview process consisted of two technical interviews and one interview with the hiring manager - one coding interview about a very simple two sum problem, and another one about ml knowledge in general. The hiring manager interview has to test if I would be a good fit for the team.

Question 1
Two sum leetcode and ml questions about llms and other ml topics.
Started with 1 recruiter round
It then proceeded towards a conversation with the Hiring Managers.
Lastly, there were 4 onsite rounds in 2 different bursts (first 2 at the same time, and if accepted then the last 2 at a single go)
Coding Challenge style of questions followed by a system design challenge that includes easy and medium problems to solve. Done on the whiteboard with the help of interviewers back and forth
