In general, the hiring process at Adobe, specifically in the Yerevan branch, is quite implicit.

Unfortunately, the HR work is not very efficient and appears to be disorganized from my perspective. For example, I communicated via cold email with at least three HR representatives, leading to communication mismatches when discussing interview details, the position, etc.

Moreover, there are lingering questions concerning the Adobe interview process. I initially anticipated a process similar to that of other BigTech companies (involving several algorithm coding interviews, system design evaluations, and behavioral assessments). However, candidates should instead prepare for a 90-minute CodeSignal online assessment consisting of seven easy to easy-medium difficulty problems. While the questions are not overly challenging, they must all be solved within approximately 13 minutes each (90 minutes / 7 questions). It is worth mentioning that interviewers will be present during the assessment and may provide guidance on general questions related to the problem statement. In essence, it is an online assessment with human proctoring.

Additionally, it is crucial to solve all seven questions optimally, as the interviewers will review your code at the conclusion of the assessment. Merely passing the tests is insufficient; candidates should also be mindful of time and space complexity considerations.

While other candidates may have had different experiences, in my opinion, there is still room for improvement in the process.

You have an integer n, and our goal is to convert it to a single-digit number using the sum of its digits.

For example:

Input: 99 Output: 9 (99) => 9 + 9 => (18) => 1 + 8 => (9)
