I applied through employee referral.
Current Designation : SDE-2 Top Product Based
Technical Round 1 and Round 2 was scheduled on the same day and both of are 1 hour duration.
However, before the interview round, I received an automated email stating that 'The postion is already closed'. When I tried to get the confirmation from the HR, I didn't got any clear response and they mentioned please be available for the interview.
Round 1:
Interview started with basic terminologies including Denial of Service, Rate limiting algorithms, and some discussion on optimizing it.
Post that one easy aptitude question based on elementary mathematics. I was able to solve it within short span of time.
2nd Question : https://leetcode.com/problems/kth-largest-element-in-an-array/
I gave the naive as well as the most optimized approach using Heap data structure.
Last question: 8 balls puzzle game which I was able to solve in 10-15 minutes.
The interview went well and got a good response during closure of the call however at the same time I received a rejection email from HR stating that I am not selected.
However, my 2nd round was still pending and first interview has just been completed.
It was a very negative kind of experience where it seems like this was only done for a formailty only.
I have never expected such experience from an organisation like Adobe.
Verdict : Rejected within 1 minute of completion of interview
