I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Adobe (Lehi, UT) in May 2023
Interview
Initial phone screen, then meeting with 4-5 different roles for about 30 minutes each. Product Managers, Program Managers, and Engineering Managers. It was all done remotely, but it was a couple years ago when people were still mostly WFH.

Question 1
About my experience, why I was interested in being a program manager at Adobe
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Adobe (Mumbai) in Jul 2024
Interview
My experience with the interview process was deeply disappointing and unprofessional. The HR team initially outlined a three-round process:
Technical round
Technical & Managerial round
Managerial round
After successfully completing all three rounds, I received a call and email from HR detailing the offer. However, the offer matched my current salary, which was unreasonable given that I had clearly communicated my salary expectations well in advance.
For the next week, HR and the hiring team provided numerous excuses for the delay in updating the salary figure. After multiple follow-ups, they introduced an additional requirement for two more rounds with the heads of departments, supposedly for salary approval.
After a brief 15-minute interview, HR suddenly communicated that they could not move forward with my application. This was the first time I have encountered such bad faith from a company of Adobe's stature. They confirmed I had cleared all rounds, provided an initial offer, made me wait unnecessarily for an updated salary figure, introduced additional rounds, and then used these rounds as a pretext to reject my application.
This experience suggests a lack of respect and transparency towards candidates, raising serious concerns about the company's hiring practices.

Question 1
How the risk management processes were undertaken in your projects
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Adobe
Interview
The interview was fairly simple with very conversational and resume based questions. Although they expected to link all experience to program management. There were 2 managers interviewing me and it was easy.
