Real SDE-level coding bar plus SQL and an Adobe Experience Platform (AEP) system-design round at senior levels.
Cloud / platform
Heavy Azure + AWS; large Spark/Hadoop, Kafka
Reported difficulty
~3 / 5
GeeksforGeeks accounts (mostly SDE track): next greater element, two-sum in a BST, DS/algo rounds with interviewer hints; "they probe internals and alternatives, not GFG answers." Same coding bar applies to Adobe DE.
Answered questions on what Adobe actually asks — each with the short answer, the answer that gets you rejected, and the follow-up.
Then build one and have it reviewed: design a daily orders pipeline or model a marketplace. No account.
