Adobe Hiring Process

Adobe conducts 4-5 rounds to hire candidates. Let's go through the details of each round.

Coding + Aptitude Round

This round consists of 25 questions, 3 - 4 questions are from coding. The remaining questions are aptitude, logical, and technical. To master the aptitude test, you should study profit and loss, percentages, time, speed and work, etc. You can go through our Aptitude preparation guide.

The coding questions will focus on pointers, strings, arrays, and recursion. You can use a variety of languages, such as CC++Java, and Python to solve the questions.

Technical Round 1

This round contains one-on-one interviews. Candidates are asked various questions on Data Structures & Algorithms and some questions on computer fundamentals such as Operating systems, Computer networks, and DBMS.

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

Technical Round 2

More complex and challenging questions are asked based on Dynamic Programming, Graphs, and Recursion. This round also includes discussion on projects, as well as questions regarding the project's technology. The questions may also cover a wide range of technological area

The candidate must be knowledgeable in everything mentioned in their CV.

Technical Round 3

In this stage, there are system design questions. There will be operating system and database management system implementation questions. You will also need to answer some additional medium-difficulty coding, algorithmic, and conceptual programming language questions.

HR Round 

During the HR stage of the interview, Your personal, family, education, interests, internships, work experience (if any), basic information, and other questions will be discussed. 

As well as some practical questions-

❄️In five years, where do you see yourself?

❄️Please tell us about yourself.

❄️Which is your dream company?

While responding, be very confident, don't talk in a low tone, and be direct & truthful. The HR round's goal is to assess your level of knowledge, analytical ability, and communication skills.

Preparation Strategy and Resources

Preparation plays an essential role in getting a job. You are at the best platform if you are preparing to join Adobe.

Resources Image

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:

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

❄️Binary Search and its applications.

❄️Basic data structures such as hashmapstacklinked listqueue, 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 crystal clear.

❄️Exercises in Bit Manipulation (working with bitmaps, bit shifting)

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

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

❄️RecursionBacktracking, and memoization.

❄️Review the fundamentals of discrete mathematics and statistics.

Practice Data structures and Algorithms 

Practice Image

Choose two or three items from your list and devote two or three hours every day to work on them.

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.
