Just finished my Adobe loop for a senior front-end role on the Analytics team. Took about 5 weeks start to finish, which felt reasonable.
Recruiter screen was pretty standard: background, why Adobe, comp range. She was organized and gave me a clear timeline upfront, which I appreciated. Then a 45-min call with the hiring manager who went deep on my experience with component systems and how I'd handled a performance regression in production. Not a gotcha, just a real conversation.
The technical screen was on Coderpad, 60 minutes: one medium-difficulty algorithm problem (sliding window) and then a React component build from a wireframe. The component build was honestly more interesting. They wanted to see how I thought about state management and accessibility, not just whether it rendered.
On-site was 5 back-to-back on Zoom. Two coding, one system design (build a notification system, classic), one behavioral-only, and then a "values" round with a senior IC who asked almost entirely about conflict and collaboration. That last one caught me a little off-guard. I'd prepared comp and design patterns but underinvested on the STAR stories.
Got the offer. L5. Salary came in a bit under what I expected but RSUs were decent. Worth doing your research on their leveling before you get to the offer stage.
