Adobe DSA Interview Questions

What Adobe asks in the DSA round

Adobe leans on arrays, strings, trees and OOP concepts, plus a low-level design round. Expect solid but not extreme algorithmic difficulty.

Across the 177 questions on this page, the weight sits on these patterns:

• Dynamic Programming — 28 questions · read the dynamic programming guide
• Breadth-First Search — 14 questions · read the breadth first search (bfs) guide
• Binary Search — 12 questions · read the modified binary search guide
• Greedy — 11 questions · read the greedy guide
• Depth-First Search — 10 questions · read the depth first search (dfs) guide
• Two Pointers — 10 questions · read the two pointers guide
• Sliding Window — 9 questions · read the sliding window guide
• Backtracking — 7 questions · read the backtracking guide

How to prepare for the Adobe interview

1. 1. Start at the top of the list above. The patterns are ordered by how often Adobe uses them, so the first two or three buy you the most coverage per hour.
2. 2. Solve by pattern, not at random. Doing eight dynamic programming problems in a row is what makes the ninth recognisable in an interview — jumping between topics does not.
3. 3. Tick problems off as you go so the gaps are visible. The per-pattern counts tell you which Adobe topic you have actually covered.
4. 4. Write the approach before the code. Adobe interviews are judged on the reasoning as much as the working solution.
5. 5. Pair this with the pattern guides when a topic is new, and the system design sheet if the role is senior enough to have that round.
6. 6. If this is a campus or off-campus drive rather than a lateral move, the placement preparation guide covers the stages around the DSA round — aptitude, core subjects and the HR interview — in the order they actually happen.
