The interviewer was one of those 'brilliant jerks' type of person that no one would want to report to. He clearly had a lot of experience in being a cto for ad companies he sold to Adobe. No one should work for a person who is closed minded and puts people down.

I was recruited by a former colleague, so my experience may have been different than someone applying off the street. They had me in for a lunch to meet some team members and to let me "interview them" first to see if I even wanted to apply. I wasn't all that interested initially but after going there for that lunch I was more than intrigued. I then did an hour long interview with about 7 people from the team, all asking relevant questions that were not "estimate how many gumballs in the jar" or "how many styrofoam cups can I fit in a 747" kind of questions. I felt overall that the whole interview process was much easier than any interview I had been in at companies in the area. Afterwards the boss of the team interviewed me for another hour or so, but it felt more informal and he asked things like expected pay, etc. I wasn't told this, but I felt at that point I had the job and it was more something for him to get to know me and make sure I fit the culture there.
