Four rounds of technical interview. Each round is based on successful completion of the previous round.

The interview started almost on time. It began with face-to-face discussions, and the questions were irrelevant to my career experience and of a very basic level. I immediately had a bad feeling about the type of questions being asked, although I tried my best to answer each question correctly.

After the first round of discussion, I was informed that I also had to take a written aptitude round. This, in itself, explained to me that the process had gone sideways.

After the "2nd Round," I was informed that the interviewer from the first round had declined my candidature.

I informed my coordinator about all this and asked for his permission to leave.

I was aghast that in a big, reputable IT company, someone would ask me to write computer programs on paper with proper syntax so that he could write it back on the computer again and verify. And mind you, not only programs but puzzles too. And if you are really going to write back the program on the computer, then when and how can you provide feedback almost immediately? He had already made up his mind to reject anyone.

I had high hopes with Adobe but now I have to admit that stupids are everywhere.

Write programs on paper, which will then be written back on the computer and verified.
