Product Innovation - Software Engineer Intern Interview Experience - Seattle, Washington
Process
Their recruiter called me, and I told them I was interested.
We scheduled two quick phone interviews with the same person. Both interviews were 45 minutes long, and surprisingly, no coding was involved.
I ended up not receiving an offer. I had prepared for a standard software engineering role and had studied sorting and searching algorithms. The interviews, however, focused heavily on business-related and product-related questions.

Adobe Work Experiences
- 5.0Exceptional Internship ExperienceSoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeSeattle, Washington, United StatesSeptember 28, 2020Pros: The intern project was very good!Cons: Nothing as such, in my view.
- 5.0Great place forSenior Software Engineer • Current EmployeeSeattle, Washington, United StatesAugust 22, 2024Pros: Adobe has a wide range of products to work on, and a big software catalogue that includes a lot of homegrown software. The products are always pushing to make their offering more competitive. While it seems slow-moving in some areas, they really are trying to innovate.Cons: The pace of innovation can seem slow. It is a large company, and bureaucracy is present in certain areas. There have been a lot of pivots and re-orgs lately to try to align business priorities when maybe there isn't a clear path forward.
- 2.0Adobe is run by accountantsSenior Engineer • Former EmployeeSeattle, Washington, United StatesApril 18, 2014Pros: Good benefits. If you are junior, could be a great place to get experience.Cons: The engineering managers are all in it for themselves. While they may seem nice, they don't give a rip about you. Financial incentives are focused towards the top few percent of employees, so good people go wanting. It all depends on your manager to fight for you. Many people have been there for 10 years or more, and it is very hard to break into the "in" crowd. Periodic layoffs. Seattle is an Adobe backwater, so definitely do not take a job there, as your neck will periodically be on the chopping block and jobs are shifted overseas.
