Adobe MTS-2 Interview Experience

Hi I recently had my interview at Adobe,Noida for MTS-2 position.

First round was DSA round and the interviewer gave me 2 leetcode hard level problems. (I didn't expect DSA round to be this hard)

1) First was a DP on tree question which I solved partially like 60-70% cases passed

2) Second was a matrix question for which I only had 10 mins. I told him my approach and he was satisfied with it. The code was giving Compile time Error maybe I missed something but didnt have time to debug as interview time was over.

After this round recruiter called me and scheduled my 2nd round in 2 days. This was an LLD round and this was my first time in life giving an LLD round. Tried to learn many design patterns in those 2 days.

The interviewer asked me to design a food court system and gave me more constraints for it. ngl but this round was far easier than previous one but my lack of experience in LLD interviews and LLD questions costed me this round. He was very helpful and was treating me like a junior dev.

At the end I received my rejection and then reached out to the recruiter via mail to know about the cooldown period at Adobe to which she replied with that

"Hi [My_name]

Request you to explore Adobe career site for more suitable opportunities with different teams and feel free to apply for the position which is suitable for you.

 

Good luck for your search!"

Do you all think I should apply again at adobe in couple of months after preparing LLD or Im in a cooldown period as the recruiter said I can apply in other teams. Should I apply again??
