Summary
I interviewed for a Senior CS position at Adobe, which included a System Design round where I had to design a 'Book My Show' application, and a DSA round where I was asked the 'Heaters' problem from LeetCode. Unfortunately, I was rejected after this experience.
How it went
Recently I gave Adobe Sr CS interview and here are the question.
Round1 HLD: Design a Book my show kind of Application. Detail discussion around the DB selection with the concurrency control. Also discussed about the low latency for the booking and confirmation. I believe I had explained all the deep dives.
Round2 DSA:
Interview said she will ask 2 DSA question to evaluate. asked me https://leetcode.com/problems/heaters/description/
Started with brute force approach but could come to the final solution covering all the edge cases and whole one hour we discussed one question only
