I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Intuit (Hyderābād) in Feb 2024
Interview
Extremely poor process.
They told that first round would be coding round, interviewer had no idea and he took Android technical round instead,
Interviewer joined 10 minutes late on call and was sleepy. Was yawning in between interviews and turning off camera while doing so.
Instead of fully taking 1 hour interview, stopped interview midway in 30 minutes and left.
HR did not even provide interview feedback and after multiple follow ups, just said that I did not do well in interview.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Intuit (Edmonton, AB) in Jan 2020
Interview
A recruiter found my profile on LinkedIn, contacted me and we talked about the job description. Te we set a time for Technical/Behavioral interview. If your recruiter is Jenn then you are lucky she is awesome and very helpful. I really enjoyed talking with her.
However, the second interview was a very bad experience for me, unfortunately. I found them (two interviewees I talked with) careless, unprofessional and they did some impolite behaviors.
The interview started by asking technical questions. You know this is an interview about a senior position, therefore, you shouldn't ask what is this what is that. Particularly when you are reading a question and looking at the answers. OMG, instead of asking those questions they should emphasize differences between ways of implementations, analysis of something, criticizing another thing. But what happened, interviewee asked me a few questions (I guess 4 questions) in the same context. WTF! when I am not familiar with a topic then if you ask 100 questions then I probably cannot answer 90 of them.
Then after 30minutes, the technical interviewee said he has to attend another meeting and said goodbye. WTF! He even didn't let me ask questions from him. We set this date/time since a week ago and he knew he has interview.
Then after that, I talked with another gentleman and he asked me a few questions regarding Identifying issues, different teams in the company and problem-solving skills. He was a good man but he yawns a lot, although he tried to hide it all the time. You know, it shows how boring the interview had been for him. And what should I think about him?!
Anyways, to me, the interview process for a company is a kind of presentation of that company and therefore, interviewees play the main role. Intuit, has not come back to me to tell me about the result of the interview (yesterday I talked with Intuit and they supposed to inform me within 48 hours). Even if they reject me, I don't feel I miss anything although I loved to joined them as I strongly believe they are adding value to the market and their customer's life.
Intuit, please train your interviewees otherwise you miss bringing some of the talented people on board.
