Here's a breakdown of the interview process:

• Initial 30-minute interview with a recruiter about the role and my background.
• Then, a 30-minute interview with the hiring manager, featuring a mix of technical and personality questions.
• Next, an hour-long technical interview with an engineer. This interview involved building a to-do list app in React.
• Then, TWO MORE hour-long technical interviews on the same day. The first was with one engineer and asked architectural questions (I don't know why they were asking these questions for a non-senior developer role). They then gave me easy LeetCode-style problems to solve. The second interview was with two engineers where they showed me a search bar on their site and asked me to implement a search history component for it in React.

After those FIVE interviews, I was met with silence and probably would have never heard back from them if I hadn't reached out to the recruiter asking about the status of my application. I was finally given a generic "not moving forward at this time" rejection email. I was kind of surprised by this outcome, as the technical interviewers said I did well and passed those interviews, but I guess not.

It just sucks that companies ask you to invest so much time to interview for them and then either ghost you or give you a generic template rejection email. Also, during this whole process, they did not tell me what the entire Adobe interviewing process would be, so it just seemed like I kept having to do interview after interview with no end in sight. Furthermore, if you have a current job, get ready to use PTO or work late because they will expect you to be available for interviews during your work hours.
