A friend and I both had similar experiences despite interviewing with 4 different functions / departments (2 each). The process is long, with no updates for weeks at a time. One process included over a month of complete radio silence. By the time I was told I could move forward, I had already accepted a role and onboarded at a different company.
I applied online. I interviewed at Adobe (New York, NY) in May 2015
Interview
Interviewed with different front line managers and division leadership. Started out with a basic interview with HR, then to the hiring manager and then others on division staff. The whole process didn't take very long if they like you.
I applied online. I interviewed at Adobe (San Jose, CA) in Feb 2017
Interview
Process started with a standard Phone Screen, then a call with the hiring manager. Next was a call with the director. Next step was an in-office interview that I had to decline due to a change in my needs for a job. Nice, smart people who have been dealing with growing pains and a more mature market.
