I applied online. I interviewed at Adobe in Mar 2021
Interview
Overall had four rounds of interviews - some with leaders and some with teams/groups I would be closely working with in my role. Took a long time for them to make a decision despite highlighting that they were "looking to move quickly"
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How do anticipate or research changes in the market?
How have you handled "x" situation before?
Examples of past experience as it aligned to role
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Adobe (San Francisco, CA) in Apr 2016
Interview
I applied online. I got two rounds, one by phone and another on campus. First round, 2 calls, second round which happened after a few weeks, was 4-5 interviews in one day. Overall interviews were amazing. I really liked talking to everyone on the team and was quite excited about the opportunity. A week later the recruiter told me everyone liked talking to me and asked when I could join the team.
Needless to say, it got me excited. Two weeks later when I didn't hear back anything from the recruiter I emailed them, only to hear that they were not extending the offer anymore. It was almost like extending an offer and rescinding it for no apparent reason. No feedback or reason was ever given and the recruiter refused to respond further.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1) Why You? 2) Why marketing 3) Why this position 4) What do you think is the future in this space? Overall simple questions, just do some research and you'll be fine.
Pretty standard interview, there was a panel of people I met with, included lunch with them and general conversation. There were some long pauses via email between the different steps of the process, was one drawback.

Huge time waster. Adobe is the type of place that doesn't care if wasting 2 months of your time with no offer or reason is a bad karma move.
Adobe has pulled this move so many times and gotten away with it they're emboldened to keep doing it.
Big difference is between director level and managerial level at Adobe. Directors will have far more experience, where as managers are painfully junior. Unfortunately, the junior types run the show and will decide if you work there or not, leaving the director-level looking mostly helpless in the process.
HR is hot air. Don't expect them to follow through.
