Adobe Project Manager interview questions

A bad joke.. I was referred for a role. I am surprised the hiring manager even has this position at a company like Adobe. First 15 minutes of phone interview spent questioning motivation for looking for a new role given the short tenure at my current company. Nothing wrong with asking that per se. But the constant badgering as well as refusal to understand that yes, this is 2018 and people can be open to opportunities and can and should apply to roles they are passionate about in companies they admire went over the hiring managers head. Also the hiring managers attitude was extremely rude, sullen and like someone with emotional IQ on the negative scale. The hiring managers refusal to understand the human on the other end of the phone was astounding, never have I seen anything like this in 10+ years of working in tech. Then I am asked if I have questions. I say I would love to hear about the role. She asks if I have seen the job description. I say yes. She then tells me to tell her what I think the role is about so that she can correct me if I am wrong. You have to be kidding, right? In normal circumstances, my request to talk about the job would segue into a conversation - even if I had seen the job description before. This would be how normal human beings relate - apparently not at Adobe though. They want candidates to tell them what they think the job is so that hiring managers can "correct" the candidate. Wow! Then the question 'what kind of marketing technology do you know'? Now that is a broad question. I ask for clarification on specifically what type of marketing tech. There's front end, back end, software, ad-interfaces, data-pipelines, architecture. I mean that's a lot. Hiring manager is not able to clarify yet expects a succinct answer encompassing all of the above. Also, I had re-scheduled an interview with the manager a day before. It was at the last minute, yes, because literally the last minute I got pulled into a meeting at work - basically I would have been speaking to the hiring manager from my work. Not surprisingly, given the low emotional IQ of this person, they did not understand this fact. In my experience, last minute re-schedules do happen especially with professionals working full time and it may not always be possible to give notice. Of course, all this went over this persons head. We both hung up as fast as we could, glad to be rid of each other I am sure.

I went through Seven different rounds of interview, with Eight different individuals. The total recruitment process went on for close to Two months. I enjoyed the level of detail and clarity that wen into each interaction. One recommendation would be shorten the end-to-end recruitment timelines, and to avoid rescheduling sessions at short notice.
