Adobe MTS-1(1 year experience) Interview Process
Summary
I interviewed for the MTS-1 role at Adobe, which involved four technical rounds covering data structures, algorithms, core computer science concepts, project discussions, and system design. I successfully cleared all rounds and accepted the offer.
Full Experience
The interview process for the MTS-1 role consisted of four technical rounds, starting with an initial phone screening by HR. The HR representative explained the job profile, collected details on relevant experience, and scheduled the upcoming interviews.
Round 1 and Round 2 were technical interviews focused on data structures, algorithms, and core computer science concepts.
Round 3 was a managerial round, which involved both technical deep-dives and project-related discussions.
Round 4 was the Director's round and interviewer was a senior manager, where both technical knowledge and career motivations were evaluated.
Each round progressively increased in depth and complexity and each one was elimination round. After clearing all rounds, a final confirmation call was made by HR informing the selection for the role.
