I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Intuit (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
The worst recruiting and hiring process I’ve encountered in tech. Recruiters are incompetent and do not care about candidates. They will not disclose interview prep info that you need and go completely dark when you have questions. Or they’ll give you the WRONG instructions (this literally happened and another recruiter caught it). Interview process takes months and even if you do well on the on-site, it’s no guarantee of anything. A complete waste of time and energy. They have no regard for the time and effort it takes to interview.

Question 1
Standard ds/algo questions, timed coding challenges
Started off with a coding challenge. Then a 1 on 1 where you are supposed to show the interviewer a personal project. The interview was pretty easy, but the questions were almost all AI related.

Question 1
When have you leveraged AI in your work, either personal or professional
I had an initial exploratory screen with a technical recruiter who reached out to me. When I transparently stated my boundaries regarding senior IC leveling to ensure we were aligned, the recruiter became visibly defensive. Instead of navigating the leveling discussion professionally, they expressed frustration, accused me of cutting them off, and suggested I needed to do more homework on the company.
I chose to be transparent to avoid wasting either of our time. It’s disappointing to see a recruiting process that penalizes clear, efficient communication from senior talent, especially when other top-tier tech firms handle these exact boundaries seamlessly.
