I applied online. I interviewed at Intuit in Sept 2024
Interview
Basically got ghosted.
I got the initial phone call interview with the recruiter which went well and recruiter said she would have the coordinator reach out for scheduling the interview with hiring manager. Didn't hear back after a week and I reached out as a follow up.
Recruiter never responded to my follow up email. But the same day, I was reached out by the coordinator to schedule an interview (two different ones reached out for the same reason). I gave my schedule and didn't hear back from either. I followed up about a week later, and the coordinator replied saying they were waiting to hear back from the hiring manager and to give additional times for the following week which I provided and never heard back after that.
I understand there were other candidates who might have been a better fit even though there were multiple positions open in the location near me or busy schedule, but regardless transparent communication would be much appreciated!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Initial phone call: the basic first interview questions: tell me about yourself, what tech stack do you have experience in, salary expectation, why do you want to work here, etc
Applied through referral after initially applying on the careers page. The process started with a recruiter screen discussing my background, tech stack, and role expectations. This was followed by a 1-hour phone screen with coding questions using the Glider platform. The onsite loop was around 6 hours and included a backend hands-on exercise, system design discussions, and deep dives into my solution and past experience. Recruiter communication was clear and timely throughout the process.
