So I put a post yesterday where are told they are ghosting me. It started with the process, had three rounds, coding and Lld including managerial and then they said feedback +, but vacancy is filled and we will match another team. Then it took 3 days and they told you will have another HM round with new HM.
Now I explained HM what I do and what I did in past and I was able to answer all his questions and a LC medium - Hard was also asked and I was able to solve. I thought of offer in couple of days but when I called hr she said that feedback is positive but HM is saying he is concerned about my current work. I MEANS WTF. If u did not understand my work it's not my problem. I work on internal build infra. Then she said HM wants some one else to take interview for design. Already had one design with earlier team manager but now again. Why can't they use previous feedback.

5th round happened with rude guy. He is not letting me explain and kind of doing show off. Throughout the interview, he was trying to establish his dominance. He wants to do complete design Lld and hld in 1 hour of interview. Generally these are separate topics and I asked him what to do and follow what he wants. Some Lld api and then hld in last 15 mins. If I can design system that fast then I can be some principle engineer. But I have done the design question during msft interview which was with HM and I was able to draw design at that time . Now I got rejection from Adobe . I Mean wtf is this. At the end of interviews, we know how we did. I was expecting numbers but got rejection.Similar question I faced in msft interview and I did well there and interview was over in 40 mins instead one hour as HM was impressed. But I reject low tc msft offer. I answered same to Adobe and I was confident about what I was saying but I think HM played a game here to reject me somehow because I don't do interesting work as per him. Why did u interview me then? They just want me to reject at some point I think as vacancy is already filled. Hm is there for a decade as I saw his LinkedIn. Not sure why he does thing. I have got Salesforce msft Amazon offers but no one said they are concerned with what I do.

Sorry for so long. Need to vent it out.

  • Do you really want to work under such decade long tenured HM there? Adobe is filled with such people.

  • Same thing happened with me during Flipkart interviews. The HM was not able to understand my current project. I cleared all the other rounds but got rejected. It’s so frustrating, if they want to hire someone with same work then they should not interview us at all. Such a waste of time and energy

      The team Work on Java microservices and I also do same. But my work is kind of internally used and not customer facing. That is the whole reason to reject I think.or they have already got vacancy filled. Anyhow, I am cooled now. Just want to vent it out. Glad I will not be working with that manager

  • Congrats on your SF and Amazon offers. I doubt Adobe could have been able to match those offers.

  • Good that you ranted, i am sure u are feeling light now but on the other note there are really some bad HRs in Adobe, i too have experienced this.

    My suggestion would be if u like Adobe then connect with EM or SrEM of adobe and ask for opening, this way they will atleast know something about ur past exp and work from you and thru LinkedIn profile and if they are really interested will route your candidature to HR.
    OR
    if u never want to apply in Adobe in future write a mail with this rant and tag HR, interviewer, all 3 managers and CEO.

    On a different note, that "5th round rude guy" named "Harsh chakka" sry "Harsh chiki"?
    Don't know why but the traits that u mentioned pointed to this guy as i have exact same experience πŸ˜…
