I found Adobe through a college career fair on the East Coast. Adobe paid for me to fly out to California to their main headquarters to visit and interview.

There was first a short phone interview with another software engineer who mostly asked about my resume and then had a few technical/coding questions. Since it was over the phone, I just had to describe at a high level things like how a depth-first search would work.

When I was onsite, the whole process lasted two days.

Day one was a career fair-style event where you could talk with all the different teams and decide which ones you would most want to work for. You then ranked the teams, and they ranked you in order to set up interviews for the next day.

For most of the interviews, I talked to a group of people (two to three). They mostly asked questions about my resume. One of my interviews had no coding questions, and another asked me to write a problem on the board.

How does a depth-first search work?

How would you insert an element into an already sorted linked list to maintain sorted order?
