This was with Adobe at Emeryville. They are basically TubeMogul acquired by Adobe. So its a mix bag, dont expect same Adobe experience. 1. Call with hiring manager. No coding, this was concerning. 2. Setup onsite in a week or so. 3. There were 4 technical interviews onsite. All coding. 4. The 3rd interviewer screwed up the experience. She appeared biased/irritated/mean. She asked open ended coding question. Design a parser to parse different types of inputs (xml/json/etc) and send it to a common function to process the data. When it was my turn to ask questions, I asked how is the team, and how is the hiring manager. She snapped at me saying she is also supposed to be same level as the hiring manager and insinuated that she deserves (an overdue) promotion. Rest of the interviewers were good and respectful. I am not too worried about not getting the offer, and would have left +ve review, had it not been for this one low caliber interviewer.

HR called me and took all the details only to mail back saying the Hiring manager didn’t see the profile a fit and then another HR called even after repeatedly saying ur hiring manager won’t be interested in my profile he went ahead and scheduled and wasted 40 mins of my time. Please don’t waste candidates time if ur hiring managers are not interested
