I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Intuit in Sep 2024
Interview
Positive Experience:
I appreciated the initial outreach from the recruiter on LinkedIn, who clearly explained the interview process. The phone screening was well-organized, and I enjoyed the technical challenges (e.g., LeetCode-style questions). The recruiter's prompt communication after the phone screen was also commendable.
The onsite interview experience was generally positive, with a well-structured format (Craft demo, System design, deep dive, and Management rounds). I was impressed by the technical expertise of the team members I met.
Areas for Improvement:
However, I experienced significant delays and lack of communication after the onsite interview. Specifically:
- I was told to expect a decision within 2 business days, but didn't receive any update until I sent multiple follow-ups (4 business days later).
- The Toronto recruiter failed to acknowledge my follow-ups, which was disappointing.
- When I finally received a response, there was minimal feedback provided.
Suggestions:
To improve the candidate experience:
1. Establish clearer communication channels and response timelines.
2. Ensure recruiters acknowledge candidate follow-ups, even if it's just to confirm receipt.
3. Provide more detailed feedback to candidates, especially after investing 7 hours in the interview process.
Overall:
While the technical team was impressive, the onsite recruiter's communication (or lack thereof) left a negative impression. I hope this feedback will help refine your interview process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Phone interview leetcode kind of question for mid level, Craft Demo, System design, deep dive and behaviour
After the initial round of coding, I didn't hear back from the recruiter. I followed up with her a couple of times but she didn't even bother replying to my emails. So don't waste your time with them. And the actual interview went well.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Intuit in Mar 2026
Interview
Take home and then three technical interviews. Requested that I prepare a project presentation for the interview. Technical covered coding and architecture. Company seems very compartmentalized. Very slow getting a response, slow process overall. Seems like fairly outdated deployment processes.
