Introduction

Are you willing to become an intern at Adobe? If definitely yes, then you are on the right path. We will provide a complete guide for getting this opportunity in the Adobe internship program. 

internships

We will also cover eligibility criteria, the selection process, and a roadmap to prepare for the role, followed by some FAQs.

But first of all, let's briefly discuss Adobe and its product and then discuss how to get Internships at Adobe.

Adobe

Adobe is a multinational software company headquartered in San Jose, California. It was founded in December 1982 by John Warnock and Charles Geschke.

Some flagship products are Adobe Photoshop, image editing software; Adobe Illustrator, vector-based illustration software; Adobe Acrobat Reader; and the Portable Document Format (PDF).

Adobe is also responsible for pioneering the paper-to-digital transformation through PDF invention.

Read our Adobe Preparation Guide article. Also, check out our articles on Job opportunities at Adobe and Ways to Join Adobe.

Now, let's discuss see how to get Internships at Adobe.

Internships at Adobe

There are two ways to apply for Internships at Adobe.

internships

ON Campus Hiring

One of the ways is to apply through the college placement cell,.i.e, ON Campus Hiring.  

On campus hiring

Campus recruitment, often known as campus hiring, is the process of enticing and connecting with college students in order to hire them when they graduate. 

  • This is performed through a variety of means, including corporate branding, sponsorship of specialized recruiting events, social networks, and university affiliations.
     
  • According to one study, about 70% of companies want to hire fresh college graduates each year. Only those who change their campus tactics and employ time-saving technology will be successful.
     
  • The days of sitting in lines to deliver interviews are long gone. Graduates don't look up billboards or wait weeks for a phone call or a letter in the mail anymore.

OFF Campus Hiring

The alternative way is to apply without the involvement of the college: 

Off campus hiring

Off-campus placement occurs when you are placed at a firm without the involvement of your college. In the event of off-campus placements, you must apply directly to the company you intend to work for. 

It provides you with a wide range of career prospects that your college would not be able to supply otherwise. So, if you attend a Tier 2/3 institution or are seeking for a job opportunity at your desired firm that does not visit your college campus, you may always apply off-campus. 

How do you apply?

how

There are four main ways to apply for an off-campus job opportunity with a company: 

  • Careers Page

    Almost every organization has a career page where they advertise all of their employment vacancies. Check the career page on a regular basis and apply for any appropriate employment openings.  
    To apply at Adobe, check out the career page: Adobe Career Page 😻 
     

You may also look for employment vacancies on job sites such as work at techjobs, LinkedIn Jobs, AngelList, InstaHyre, Naukri, and others. 

If you do not discover any appropriate job opportunities on the firm's career sites, you can email the company by sending a formal application email together with your CV.

 

How to find the email address? 🙄

Google "careers@replace_with_company_domain" and "jobs@replace_with_company_domain" and check if any of it comes up in the search results. 

  • Job Referrals

    Most firms have a very low selection-to-job application ratio. Companies often have an incentive scheme for their employees to suggest persons they believe would be ideal hires in order to enhance this percentage. 

    A reference is an excellent way to receive an interview call from a firm. Many businesses bypass the preparatory exams for referrals and proceed directly to the main interview procedure.
     

Referral Process at most companies:

You reach out to a person working in the company you want to apply to

The referrer then shares your profile with the recruiter

The recruiter gets in touch with you if your profile matches with the job requirements

Interview! 

  • Hiring Challenges

    Many companies conduct hiring challenges on sites such as HackerRank, HackerEarth, TechGig, and others. 

    The following are the most common templates for such employment challenges: 

DSA coding concerns

DSA code problems, as well as MCQs on CS fundamentals

Developmental Challenges

Participate in these challenges and try to get a high ranking. If you do well, the recruiter may contact you for an interview. 

  • Talk to a Recruiter

    Recruiters are individuals who either hire for their own company or for other firms. If you are seeking a job at a company with which they are affiliated, it makes a lot of sense to contact them directly.

Eligibility Criteria

Following are the eligibility criteria for Internships at Adobe:

eligible

  • Individuals must be pursuing B.E/B.Tech or M.E/M.Tech in any stream.
  • They must have a 60% or more in their academic profiles, like in 10th grade, Intermediate, and 7 CGPA and above in BE/B.Tech.
  • There should not be any backlog at the time of applying.

Selection Process

The selection process will probably be the same both On-campus and off-campus.

selection process

Let's see How?

Adobe generally conducts two rounds.

Round 1: It is an online test with four sections that can only be attempted in a particular given order.

Section 1

Cognitive Assessment 

There are 20 Multiple Choice Questions in this section, and the allotted time will be 20 minutes. The questions are related to logical reasoning and basic math.

Section 2

Technical Assessment

In this section, there are 20 Multiple Choice Questions, and the allotted time will be 20 minutes. The questions are related to basic computers’ knowledge like DSA, OS, DBMS, Computer Networks and etc.

Section 3

Coding Assessment

There are two coding questions in this section, and the allotted time will be 60 minutes.

Section 4

Gamified Assessment

This section will have memory-based games.

Round 2

It is an Interview Round.

If you want to ace an interview, you can refer to the Interview Experiences, where you will get all the important questions with their solution.

Now, let's discuss the Roadmap of preparation.

Preparation Strategy and Resources

Preparation Strategy

Make a study schedule 

Make a prioritised list of things you need to study using the information you gathered in the previous stage. 

This list should include the following items:
 

❄️Remembering two useful sorting algorithms and their Big-O equivalents.

❄️Binary Search memorization.

❄️Basic data structures such as hashmaplinked liststackqueue, and trees (n-ary, trie, heap) and their Big-O complexities should be remembered.

❄️Graph traversal algorithms (BFSDFS Algorithm, and the shortest path algorithm like Dijkstra's) should be memorised.

❄️2 Powers of Memorization Exercises in Bit Manipulation (working with bitmaps, bit shifting)

❄️The terminology used in Object-Oriented Programming (abstraction, inheritance, cohesion, coupling)

❄️Understand the collections and maths APIs for the programming language you're using.

❄️RecursionBacktracking, and memoization.

❄️Review the fundamentals of discrete mathematics and statistics. 

Practice Data structures and Algorithms 

practise

Choose two or three items from your list and devote two or three hours every day to working on them (e.g. 1 hr before work, lunch break, 1 hr after work). 

Test yourself by drawing out an algorithm or data structure on paper or on a whiteboard as you recall stuff. 

When you're through, write down the algorithm's worst-case Big-O time and space complexity. Now copy and paste your code into your preferred IDE and compile it. 

Keep track of any compilation errors so you can prevent them the next time you do the exercise. 

You can and should write unit tests to ensure that your code is correct.

Start practising complex coding challenges and time yourself. For each solution, it's critical to evaluate the Runtime and Memory complexity. 

Learn how to answer the top ten System Design Interview questions. These are now an important component of the interview process and have an impact on your level of employment.

Study the concepts of operating systems and concurrency. These questions are used to determine your level of hiring. To stand out for higher levels on Google's ladder, brush up on multithreading principles.

Full-time role through the Internship

Nowadays, most the company recruits fresher either for Internship or internship+Full-Time.

If you are selected as an Intern, you have to work for a certain period in that company, and if the company finds you the best fit for the role, they will provide you with full-time opportunities. It is mainly based on your performance.

Therefore, it is advised that during the internship period, you should showcase your skills and work hard for the company because it indirectly benefits you.

Below are the important points you can follow during the Internship: 

Establish your Credibility

If your team doesn't trust you, they will not delegate important projects to you. Without good projects, you will have fewer opportunities to demonstrate your unique abilities and contributions to the organisation, making it more difficult to persuade your boss that you deserve a full-time job.

establish your credibility

The simplest way to gain trust is to establish your credibility.

Ask Questions

At an internship, everything is new — the work, the people, and the culture. This will be difficult at first. Our recommendation? Ask questions when in doubt.

You demonstrate genuine interest in the organisation when you educate yourself about the company and its goals, the projects that are most important to your team, and the people with whom you work.

Ask Questions

However, be cautious about the questions you pose. You want to ensure that they are adding to the conversation rather than diverging from it.

Go above and beyond.

At the start of your internship, your manager will most likely set some expectations for you. If you want to get a full-time job, you must at the very least meet those expectations. It's even better if you can go above and beyond and outperform them.

Ask Questions

For example, when your internship begins, you may be assigned a few low-priority projects with no set deadline. These are frequently ongoing tasks, such as updating a calendar or logging research. That doesn't sound particularly difficult, does it?

Make connections

You want your team to like you, not just your boss. You want them to enjoy having you around and be sad that you might part ways one day.

Make connections

Unlike in school, where your success is determined solely by your individual efforts and the professor, your success in the workplace is largely determined by how well you collaborate with your team. 

If your internship leads to a full-time position, you may end up reporting to one of your current coworkers and working with even more people across the organization. Perhaps a few years down the road, you'll be in charge of some of the people you met during your internship.
