Indian recruiter calling from india who have no technical knowledge, were asking system design questions to me. Worst experience. When i asked about the team or product then recruiter couldn't explain that.
A series of interviews gauging API design, System Design, behavioral and computer science fundamentals. There was 4 interviews total. Two were virtual Two in person. Overall it was a very positive experience. It took almost 2 and a half months
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Adobe in Jan 2026
Interview
This was for a role on the Adobe Firefly product. I spoke to the recruiter twice via Teams (both times their camera was off -- if you're going to schedule a video call, turn your video on maybe). The recruiter barely asked meaningful questions. I'm not sure if I was even fully qualified for this position but they pushed me through. The next step was a technical assessment in which I faced one of my greatest fears: being rejected mid-interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The recruiter only cared if I was able to work in the US and if I was comfortable working hybrid. The technical screen was to debug an application and apparently I "wasted" 5-10 minutes before looking in the correct place for errors. (God forbid someone is nervous during an interview and takes 5-10 minutes to get their bearings.)
