I was disappointed to have had such an unfortunate interview experience after hearing so many positive things about Adobe. The process started with a last-minute reschedule request from the recruiter, followed by her arriving 10 minutes late to the rescheduled interview. While the recruiter was transparent about the delay ("talking with a coworker and completely forgot we were supposed to connect"), it did set an inconsistent tone for the process. That said, the role and team itself seemed interesting, and I appreciated the insight shared during the initial conversation. After what felt like an otherwise positive conversation, I was told that I would be moving forward to the next round (a 1:1 with the hiring manager) and would hear back within a day or two to schedule. However, I did not receive any follow up for almost three weeks despite checking in multiple times with the recruiter on next steps. After sending these unanswered emails, I ultimately received a generic rejection with no additional context. Overall, while Adobe has a strong reputation, the communication and coordination throughout this process did not reflect the level of professionalism I was expecting, particularly for a candidate experience at this stage.
