[formal gorge]

hi when did u receive it

[hallow burrow]

Now

[random canyon]

Orzzzzz

[hard anvil]

Brooo how’s it?

Is it easy

😭

[grand saffron]

do they tell u what role

[hard anvil]

Swe

[hallow burrow]

Chill papi

😘

[grand saffron]

oh then its fine

[hallow burrow]

I haven’t done it yet

[hard anvil]

U taken it?

[hard anvil]

Damn

[grand saffron]

naw i want a diff role so idc that i didnt get oa

😭

i emailed a rec but they opend my email and didnt say anything

[hallow burrow]

I assume u want AI/ML?

Or research based

[grand saffron]

yea

[hallow burrow]

🔥

U got it

[grand saffron]

hope so...

[glass summit]

I got aiml oa last week

But I think I’m in the process for the tm before the final round

[grand saffron]

theres a couple diff ai ones

i just need 1

[pliant aspen]

i just got mine

10 min ago

[tender galleon]

Hows the OA

[hallow burrow]

p sure its just LC

mediums is my guess

[hard anvil]

I hope so

[pliant aspen]

I heard its absurdly easy

I will get back to you guys

[crimson adder]

yea it wasnt even medium level

[tender galleon]

Lmk wen u guys takeyy it

Take*

Proctored?

[crimson adder]

no

[tender galleon]

Bet

[wide isle]

mine was an easier version of a lc hard + two easys

[pliant aspen]

I got 2 mediums

and an easy

[pliant aspen]

talked to my recruiter who i somehow got a hold of bc he came to my school he said its teammatching -> interview this process is usually 1 week after 1 week its very unlikely to get interviewed

[hard anvil]

Team matching immediately after oa?

[pliant aspen]

Yeah. HMs sift through the shortlist of interns and pick ones to interview

thats why they had u fill out pref form

[hard anvil]

Damn so if we don’t hear back this coming week it’s ggs

[pliant aspen]

Pretty much what i got out of the convo yeah

[hallow burrow]

it will take like at least 2 weeks to hear back after oa invite anyways

[hard anvil]

Yeah the wave before this I heard they all heard back same day which was 2weeks+

[hallow burrow]

Yeah this was the case even last year for me

Last year was different tho. I passed all the rounds and failed to get matched to a team after the ints. They changed everything this year it seems, even with the interview structure

I got OA 10/17 and got final invite 11/5

[hard anvil]

Shiii

[hard anvil]

Makes sense

I wonder if they have hc

[hallow burrow]

Nooo

They hire 100000 interns

[hard anvil]

Fr??

[hard anvil]

That’s nice ig

[hallow burrow]

💀

No

Every company has hc

But it seems like if u get the interview, as long as u pass, u should get offer cause they matched u to a team beforehand

[hard anvil]

Bloomberg and Amazon don’t 💀

Jk they do but they hire a lot is what I meant

[hard anvil]

Makes sense

[hallow burrow]

Yea zon fs hires a ton, I think last year close to 15000

My guess is Adobe SWE is like 500-1000

[hard anvil]

We’re gmi

[grand saffron]

wow they changed it a lot from before

[hard anvil]

Wdym

[grand saffron]

they didnt team match b4 ints

[hard anvil]

Oh

[midnight pilot]

So even if my final interview didn’t go perfectly well I should be ok?

One of my interviewers was super distracted the whole time and was laughing at other monitors

[pliant aspen]

Not sure about anything during interview process. I just asked about OA -> Interview conversion

[midnight pilot]

Ah ok

[hallow burrow]

anything can happen right

its outta ur control now

whatever happens happens

hopefully u get it 🤞

[midnight pilot]

Yeahhhh

[modest drift]

the pref form you get when you schedule final round?

[pliant aspen]

I got mine with the OA

[modest drift]

oh interesting

[modest drift]

shoot I lowkey forget what I put on that 😭

and it's closed now

[pliant aspen]

no way

Bro

[hard anvil]

Same

[modest drift]

should I contact my recruiter or should I just assume I'm already team matched and it's too late :(

[hallow burrow]

if u alr got scheduled tech, then it seems ur prolly alr matched

[wide isle]

i had my final on wednesday and they sent a form asking for team pref again today morning (no offer or anything)

[modest drift]

I didn't get that :(

interviewed friday

did you already fill out the form?

[wide isle]

i have not i got verbal offer from a company like a week and a half ago but they still havent sent the actual letter so idk my actual official deadline date for that
so im gna wait like an hour for them to respond then js submit the deadline i was told in the call

[wide isle]

assuredly this is just rolling based on when u took it and doesnt indicate success or failure

[modest drift]

yeah might just be based on if you filled out that form or not. I filled it out right after my interview

[wide isle]

oh that makes sense then

[hallow burrow]

for the form due on october 20th, is this the same due date u got for the first one? or were is this for sure a completely new one u had to submit

[wide isle]

sorry im not sure what "first one" means specifically
i got one form along with my oa where i gave location prefs and like general work type prefs (swe/ml, backend, etc) and then today morning i got this form asking for team prefs and competing deadlines

as far as i remember i havent filled out anything else

[midnight pilot]

Yeah I think he just didn’t see the link and didn’t fill it out

[wide isle]

oh shit ur right

my dumbass

yea i js didnt see the form 💀 💀

[hallow burrow]

Okay that answers it. The second form is separate from the one you get during the OA 👌

[modest drift]

so they'll consider the second one for team matching? first one is just for interview scheduling..?

[hallow burrow]

Honestly idk

@pliant aspen what do u think

[pliant aspen]

You already got team matched

The way it works is various teams see your resume + form

If you got interviewed

A team picked u

So it doesn't matter anymore thats why they closed ur form

[modest drift]

then what's the point of the second form?

[pliant aspen]

maybe bc u didnt do the first one they still want u to not be assigned a team u hate 💀

I wanna do AIML if i was stuck on frontend i think i'd rather join amazon 💔

[modest drift]

I don't think you could move onto interviews if you didn't do the first form

This form is necessary to help us match you with potential interview opportunities. **If you do not complete it, you will be unable to move forward in our process. **

[pliant aspen]

Yes i saw that too but the recruiter told me the strict pipeline is as follows

resume -> recruiter decides if u get oa

resume + oa + form -> teams who decide if u get interviews

[modest drift]

regardless, I'm fairly certain I didn't put any frontend teams but knowing myself I probably put a very broad selection just so I seem more appealing

[pliant aspen]

I'm sure youre ahead of most of us!! You got the interview 🙂 that means the form is out the window which means maybe u get a team thats boring but hey its adobe man

[modest drift]

valid valid

[hallow burrow]

I think u have high chance as long as u full score OA and have relevant skills

Good prev might be a plus but def not as important

[rocky peak]

theyll have another resume scan after the oa

just need some luck!

[brittle socket]

For people who already Got Adobe final, what's your previous experience and school. And when did you finish the OA then got final invitation?

[hallow burrow]

i havent gotten adobe final yet but u should expect to hear back prolly 2-3 weeks after oa invitation

[tender galleon]

Oh acc?

I gave OA 3/4 days back

[brittle socket]

damn sounds slow

[hard anvil]

Same…hopefully we hear back next week

[pliant aspen]

i took mine last wed poop

[tender galleon]

And heard back?

[pliant aspen]

nope

[rocky peak]

they send invitation at the same time

just do the oa before the ddl

[pliant aspen]

invitation? to interview?

[rocky peak]

yea

[tender galleon]

Wdym send inviye at the same time?

[hard anvil]

i'm guessing he means since we were all in the same wave of oas, we'd hear back for interviews(if passed) same time too

[tender galleon]

Yeaa fair

[hallow burrow]

this is correct

[pliant aspen]

Dropped my heart for no reason smh

[hard anvil]

U good lex

Maybe they only sent to those that passed oa(I’m coping🥹)

[pliant aspen]

bruh why nothign

[hard anvil]

It’s coming

[midnight pilot]

Just got that email too

I saw adobe careers and got so nervous

[hard anvil]

js today?

[midnight pilot]

Yeah

[tender galleon]

I got this a while back too

Havent heard after OA tho

[rocky peak]

we're on diff stages ig

[hard anvil]

How?

[rocky peak]

we r post final

[hard anvil]

ohhhh

[edgy sky]

what kind of questions do they ask in the interview ?

it is like oop , leetcode or system design

[hallow burrow]

Leetcode

[hard anvil]

Easies rii?

[hallow burrow]

i got an easy last year but expect easy or medium i think

[hard anvil]

Anyone hear back?

[tender galleon]

Nah

[pliant aspen]

lol i just got rej

did you guys?

[hard anvil]

Damn😭

[rocky peak]

after oa?

[pliant aspen]

yes

[hard anvil]

did u pass all questions @pliant aspen

[pliant aspen]

Yea lol with 40 min left

Idk how i got rej

I won a hackathon at Adobe LOL

Fuck big tech bro 🤣 i'm joining a startup

[hard anvil]

broo😭

u think it coulda been a mistake?

email ur recruiter lowk

or the recruiting email

[pliant aspen]

It was out of his hands i reached out

[hard anvil]

thats acc crazy lol

[pliant aspen]

He said he forwarded me then its teammatching which is out of recruiters hands

[hard anvil]

dont they only rej if u dont pass oa or all teams have seen ur profile and rej u(which i highly doubt for ur case)?

[pliant aspen]

In this kind of economy with booming growth and the AI bubble the big tech companies are scared to cause a job market demand shock so they dont hire at all DESPITE the crazy economic growth. Literally like trying to work for someone else who is trying to prevent a supply shock is not the move. You gotta do a startup i have something ive been cooking for a while its super easy to get investor money in this economy at least the VCs arent dumb enough to pull the rug on new talent fuck big tech bro

[pliant aspen]

No team wanted me was the vibe i got from recruiter 🤣

[hard anvil]

u emailed after getting rej?

[pliant aspen]

Linkedin lol im like chill with the recruiter

[hard anvil]

damn

[hard anvil]

shi sorry abt this man...something better coming ur way

[pliant aspen]

Deadass tho im not even sad about this bc its solidifies that im better off without

Adobe already gives negative ROs so even if i build the next diffusion model or whatever vision paradigm im just getting kicked out in 2 months and they publish and take credit for my shit anyway

Its not even doom and gloom to say dont try big tech. Its genuinely not viable. If you truly believe you provide productive value to XYZ dream company then why do u need them to validate you... go take that productivity and build something cool bro thats what im gonna do now

Not even torlling either im leaving out of this sever hope adobe fucks with yall ☝️ peace out

best of luck

[hard anvil]

damn

[hard anvil]

js heard back for interview

[midnight pilot]

final or tech?

[hard anvil]

Tech

[hallow burrow]

yea i also got tech

if u didnt get rejected, maybe just wait a bit

its still "In Process"

[hard anvil]

Did u check spam?

Also did u alr take oa

[hallow burrow]

i think it was mentioned that they team match before this stage

so that might be the case idk

they didnt do this last yr and i passed all the ints and then didnt get matched to a team despite a separate hiring manager call i got many months after the interview process

[hard anvil]

They did?

[hallow burrow]

^

thats why we were given a preference form to fill out along with the OA

^ for last year, we also submitted a preference form but i dont believe it was as much as this year. like i dont recall submitting a form about my skills or anything until after the final interview

[rocky peak]

wait did u get the offer last year?

[light pond]

neither did i

rip

[light pond]

this doesn't mean anything

i was rejected for another adobe role but that ones still in process too

[hallow burrow]

Nah, they didn’t team match until after the final interviews

I passed but didn’t get matched and I was kept on file

[rocky peak]

did they waitlist u or

[light pond]

so if we didn't hear back yet is it cooked @hallow burrow

cuz looks like they already sent out the techs

[hallow burrow]

I got this months after my interviews

[hallow burrow]

To be completely honest, I think it might not look good

Cause I think everyone who got the October OA got it at the same time today

[light pond]

rip

[rocky peak]

then what happened?

i did my final and still havne't back is it a bad sign

[hallow burrow]

I met with the hiring manager for the team (ironically lived in the same neighborhood as me)

I think they interviewed a couple candidates and selected one, I didn’t get it

[hallow burrow]

I think they also roll out offers in waves, if yk anyone who got OA and interviewed in same batch as u, I’d reach out to em

[rocky peak]

sorry to hear that

[light pond]

wait some ppl got it in the morning

who knows

😂

oh ya thats the earliest

but some ppl got it later no?

[hallow burrow]

All good, at least I was employed last summer lmao

[rocky peak]

Did they send u anything after the final?

[hallow burrow]

I got this which I assumed was just a rejection email

I then got this like 2 months later, and then I got that recruiter reach out a month after that in like march

[rocky peak]

[rocky peak]

when did you get this? how long was it after the interview?

[hallow burrow]

like a couple weeks after the final int

i think 2-3 maybe

[midnight pilot]

Damn

[rocky peak]

Have you heard of anyone getting rejected after the final last year?

[rocky peak]

we r cooked bro

[midnight pilot]

LOL

Oh well

[rocky peak]

I havn't heard back after 2 wks im so cooked

[midnight pilot]

It’s ok we ball

Onto the next

Also if someone rejects we might hear back too

[rocky peak]

i mean second wave is coming so😢

[midnight pilot]

They just got tech

We got time fr

[rocky peak]

i think the main one is tm

[midnight pilot]

Wdym

[rocky peak]

is it too late to update my resume

[midnight pilot]

Yeah probably

[rocky peak]

no team wants me

[hallow burrow]

honestly i dont remember. ik ppl who got offers

[midnight pilot]

We got this entire week

Then panic 😭

[rocky peak]

but i thought they said they'll tm in Feb or smth

[hallow burrow]

wtf fr

[rocky peak]

yea

[midnight pilot]

Nah they do it rn

[hallow burrow]

this is p funny but bc of the kickoff, everyone got access to each others emails

[hallow burrow]

sum dude who interviewed emailed this to everyone in our batch

[rocky peak]

bruh he's getting blacklist for sure

[hallow burrow]

i mean he didnt even take the offer meaning he had sum better

[rocky peak]

[midnight pilot]

LMAO

He’s def just lying so people don’t take offer

[hallow burrow]

possibly lmaoo

[remote shoal]

anyone know previous qs

heard tagged isnt helpful

[midnight pilot]

LeetCode #1636

Was very similar to mine

[hard anvil]

how about final @midnight pilot

[midnight pilot]

Behavioral

You’ll be alright

[hallow burrow]

@midnight pilot outside of the live coding aspect, what should we expect for the technical

[rocky peak]

depends on ur interviewer

mine just had a intro and a briefly follow up like tell me more about that X project

[hallow burrow]

gotcha, it seems like they might pick sum from resume then

[rocky peak]

not really

I don't even think my interviewer actually read my resume

[hard anvil]

damnn their proc is really chill like that?

[edgy sky]

how should we practice best for technical?

and do they ask oop or just lc?

[midnight pilot]

Super calm

[rocky peak]

not really

no need to practice at all.. super chill

its just lc on hackerrank

same as the oa one

[edgy sky]

they give you the same one?

[rocky peak]

no

i mean the platform

[edgy sky]

gotcha gotcha

wb the topics

do they ask graphs or dp?

or nah

[rocky peak]

array with ez tag💀

[edgy sky]

for everyone? jesus

[rocky peak]

eaiser than two sum💀

[midnight pilot]

Yeah if you know any ounce of leetcode you’re fine

[edgy sky]

then what differentiates someone from passing and not passing if their technical ?

[hard anvil]

Bruh yall making it sound too easy😭

[midnight pilot]

No clue

[rocky peak]

based on the vibe and team match

[hard anvil]

Do they ask the same q for each wave

[midnight pilot]

Idk that either

[hallow burrow]

its fs gonna be lc easy, worst case medium

[rocky peak]

same wave has the same question ig

[hallow burrow]

bc it says only 20 minutes

[edgy sky]

right right

[rocky peak]

should be chill af

[edgy sky]

whats like some points you guys have for like speaking

[hallow burrow]

be interested in the company i think

[hard anvil]

Damn who’s picking Friday for their date

[edgy sky]

dawg i got an exam friday

[rocky peak]

ik people who did well in r1 still didn't get into the final

[hallow burrow]

[edgy sky]

imma try monday

[hard anvil]

Still pick it bro. You’re him

[hard anvil]

Noooo

[rocky peak]

should be super chill

[hallow burrow]

i think coming prepared with good questions is lwky all u need to do

if you dont know how to do a lc easy or cant talk about your resume and life, i don know what do say

[loud bobcat]

we need at least 50 more interns to fix this i think

[hard anvil]

when'd you get this

[loud bobcat]

they just sent to email like 60-70 mins ago

[hard anvil]

did they send the email to schedule interviews yet?

[loud bobcat]

yeah that email was for the scheduling interview

like it was a link to their portal or whatever

[hard anvil]

oh? i didnt get that tho

[hard anvil]

did you also get an email yesterday

@hallow burrow did u hear back yet

[remote shoal]

i got an email yesterday to schedule

anyone else

[hard anvil]

I got email that I’d hear back today

[loud bobcat]

yeah I got the same email yesterday as you I think saying I would hear back today

[remote shoal]

whend u guys schedule?

[hard anvil]

Why haven’t I heard back

[remote shoal]

i got monday the 10th

[hard anvil]

I’ll prolly choose that too

[remote shoal]

also interviewers get assigned directly after u choose ur slots

[hard anvil]

Cool

[hallow burrow]

i got the email to schedule as well

[hard anvil]

Yeah I js did too

Anyone picking Friday?

[hallow burrow]

@rocky peak @midnight pilot did ur interview involve u explaining any of ur OA solutions

[rocky peak]

no

[hallow burrow]

Bruh someone said that and that sounds so crazy

I’ve never heard of that lmao

[rocky peak]

they'll trolling

[midnight pilot]

yes

I had to explain one of them

[hallow burrow]

oh seriously

thats crazy

[remote shoal]

Yo anyone else’s interview keep getting rescheduled

Like mine has gotten cancelled twice

[hard anvil]

Did they give a reason?

[hard anvil]

Damn I didn’t get that

[remote shoal]

Weird

[remote shoal]

When’s yours

[hard anvil]

Monday

[remote shoal]

Same

Wgat time

[hard anvil]

Afternoon

[loud bobcat]

wait did anyone attend the kickoff on wed

was it important

[hard anvil]

I couldn’t 😪

[remote shoal]

i couldnt either

[remote shoal]

but i heard there wasnt really any new info they j reiterated the email they sent

[hallow burrow]

Yeah i missed it this yr but I did it last yr and it wasn’t rlly anything, ygs didn’t miss anything dw

[remote shoal]

Anyone taking their interview tmr?

[rocky peak]

Yo do they send rejections and waitlist at the same time? If you remember

[hallow burrow]

I think offers came through first. I remember two people who got offers and I got the rejection/waitlist like a week or so after that. I’m certain OAs and interviews were given at the exact same time, but in terms of decisions after final, I’m not 100 percent sure

[midnight pilot]

were you in the first batch of final interviewers

[hallow burrow]

I believe so

I also think it is partially recruiter and team based

But I remember offers coming in first

[hard anvil]

Anyone done the technical?

[remote shoal]

^^

[hard anvil]

Someone should have since earliest date was td

[hallow burrow]

@midnight pilot @rocky peak how many days after technical round did u hear back abt the behavioral?

[midnight pilot]

1-2 weeks

[rocky peak]

3 weeks getting rejections hah

[hallow burrow]

Oh damn

Did ygs get the offer or naw

[rocky peak]

gl

[rocky peak]

for me 1.5wks

[hallow burrow]

Ty man, always the next one

This whole thang a battle fr

[rocky peak]

hopeless again

no process at all

[hallow burrow]

Nah I got trust in ya

[pliant aspen]

Dang bro im so anxious

[hard anvil]

Bruh now I’m scared of after finals lol

It’s dreadful

[hallow burrow]

Did any of ygs get final

[remote shoal]

[hard anvil]

Yessir

I might lowk cancel tho

[remote shoal]

Y

[hard anvil]

I got another offer…and Ion think adobe takes Soph(says 2027 on their site)

[remote shoal]

But good job bro ur cracked

[hard anvil]

How?

[hard anvil]

[hallow burrow]

big dawggg

[pliant aspen]

Is Adobe final usually all same time or rolling out

[hallow burrow]

i think same time

[hard anvil]

Anyone hear back to schedule?

[remote shoal]

Yea

I just scheduled

How many more people do they have to hire before they fix this

[hallow burrow]

I also just scheduled. They too bummy to fix that ahh

[hard anvil]

Fr bro

[hard anvil]

Change it when u get offer

[remote shoal]

Anyone know if ur interivewers for final r the ones who r gonna be on ur team when if u make it

[hallow burrow]

i think its possible but im not 100 percent sure. i know one guy who interviewed last yr, and then he got placed on the same team as his interviewer bc his interviewer apparently specifically requested it or sum

[hard anvil]

Aura

[remote shoal]

Anyone do the preference form

[hard anvil]

U got one?

[remote shoal]

Its at the bottom of ur final int confirmation

[hard anvil]

It’s not💀

Oh I js saw😭

[hard anvil]

U did urs yet?

Does no preference mean im not serious💀

[hallow burrow]

It says following the interview

So u shouldn’t do it now

[remote shoal]

Wait im dumb

Whoops

[hard anvil]

💀

Christian bro😭😭😭

[remote shoal]

Whoops

😭😭😭😭😭😭

[hard anvil]

I alr submitted
