There a written test having an Aptitude and a Technical part for all CSE and ECE students with CGPA above 7.0. At the
end of it 4 members were selected for the personal interviews. Each of us had 4 rounds of interviews. The pattern of
interviews I had was HR, followed by a technical, then a HR + technical sort taken by a manager from Adobe and finally
another technical. At the end of the interviews 3 of us were selected.
Aptitude Section had general Logic and aptitude questions. Quantitative had comparison questions ( Fill with , =) followed
by basic maths questions. Simple Logical Reasoning questions like I prefer Mozart to Beethoven, I prefer Beethoven and
Montago equally, who will i listen to ? and similar types of questions. The Technical was good, consisted of 2 parts 1 of C
and algorithms and the other of DS. Both papers had 10 problems each, so it was a race against time here.

Some of the questions asked were : 1) Given an array and a Number N find all sets of 2 numbers that add up to N. Started
with O(n^2) then went onto O(N) solution using i) hashing ii) O(N) using sorted array. 2) Given a dictionary (Can be
traversed linearly from the first) and a word, find all legal permutations of the word. 3) I have a clock at the bottom of a
hill giving me correct time, and one on top of the hill which is not working, how can I synchronize the 2 clocks, time taken
to go up is more than it takes to come down. 4) What are heaps, threads, Pthreads, have you done Pthread programming,
what programs ? 5) Write a class for Stack considering all loop-holes and error conditions? 6) Give a program to print a
string in reverse using simplest solution possible. 7) Divide an L-shaped area into 2, 3, 4 equal parts. Divide a square into 7
equal parts. A few more were asked that I do not remember, which were on the same lines as above.

HR was more of an ice-breaker for me. The interviewer asked me simple questions like : 1) Tell me about yourself, your
strengths and weaknesses. 2) Tell me about your family. 3) Will you prefer a job or higher studies ? Why not GRE ? 4)
Why did you prefer Noida over Bangalore ? 5) What are your long-term future goals ? 6) Goals for next 5 years ?

Get your Basics in C, C++, algos and DS correct. They are the most important. Be confident, stay cool and you will be able
to answer all the questions. Always keep a small smile on your face during the interview it shows that you are confident
and not awed by the procedure. For puzzles, CS algorithms etc go to Wu's puzzles ( Type Wu's Puzzles in Google and
follow the links to its Forum), that helps a lot for the preparations.

Clearing the written test was the toughest part. The technical questions were good and as you got 3-5 minutes to write full
programs it was tough. Managed to do around 7 questions in the technical rounds. They later told me that technical was the
main thing they were looking at while choosing the candidates. When I got to know that there were only 4 people selected
for the interviews and considering that Adobe was the first company to come, I was quite confident to make it. From there
on it was just applying the concepts of DS etc. in the technical rounds and that was it.
