      Software Engineer Interview

      19 Dec 2015
      Anonymous interview candidate
      San Jose, CA
      Declined offer
      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Adobe (San Jose, CA) in Oct 2015

      Interview

      I got my interview through a resume drop at my university's CS career fair (for reference, my university is a top 20 CS school, top 50 overall). First part of the process was a phone screen, and was also where my apprehension began with the position I was interviewing for. The screen was about 25 minutes, majority behavioral (what would you do in this situation, past projects, etc.). The closest thing I had gotten to a technical question was an open-ended question about writing a function that returns 1 given 0 and 0 given 1 (multiple solutions). I figured they gave me a snowball because the interviewer had decided to pass on me, but lo and behold I got an email the next day for an onsite (*excited*). They flew me out to San Jose and put me up in a nice hotel. Interview process was like others have described on here: first day is a career fair/team matching event, second day is interviews. I got matched with two teams. Both interviews were with a panel of senior engineers on each of the respective teams. The first interview had a handful of technical questions, some easy and some a little tougher but no DP or intricate problems; I thought I did above average. The second interview was entirely abstract, talking about my experience on past projects, thoughts on X or Y programming language, favorite university course/data structure/hobby. Not a single technical questions, which I thought was odd for a final round. I got an offer from both teams I interviewed with, but ended up declining. From what I understand, both teams did their evaluations of me independently. The fact that team 2 had given me an offer without me having demonstrated any actual ability to code (between the phone screen and my interview with them) was a red flag for me. I use on-site interviews as a means to judge the caliber of the company I am interviewing for. While I found my interviewers very personable, the technical aspect of these interviews failed to make me feel as if I had "earned" the position, and overall gave me a negative perception of engineering culture at Adobe. Adobe is a cool company doing interesting work, but in the end I decided to pursue other options.
