I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Intuit in Feb 2022
Interview
The WORST experience/treatment that completely wastes the time of candidates. If you are currently fully employed DO NOT waste your time working on their case study that will take you a few days to complete on top of the repetitive questions when you meet with people on the panel for almost FOUR HOURS!
A recruiter reached out to me on LinkedIn and I was interested in the role as I had met with other recruiters from Intuit and they were all very nice to work with and great at communication. After I interviewed with the Hiring Manager, a few days later, someone else took over the process and let me know she would be my point of contact. She was always TERRIBLE at follow up and communication was lacking.
On the day of the 3.5 hour long interview, I felt like one of the people was totally checked out since he didn’t at all engage or ask any questions. I also felt like they we weren’t all on the same page with the case since they were asking things that were not relevant to the case and I kept correcting the facts. Also, they make things purposely vague because they want to know how you would interpret the findings. This is awful because it makes the process unnecessarily complicated but I understand it is a method. I was trying to figure out what was being asked before I could give a complete answer. There were times when I would give an overall assessment and then I would be asked a question I answered half an hour before. That’s on me if I didn’t communicate correctly but I’ve worked with a few Fortune 100 companies that communication was not lacking and I tend to interview well. It’s completely fine that it was not a fit.
The kicker and why I would NEVER interview with Intuit again is that it took ONE WEEK (not 48 hours after the interview) for them to bother to follow up after I sent an email asking for feedback. When I received an email to let me know that the recruiter wanted to “give me an update on the process”, I scheduled a time for the call. Either she was not in a great mood or short on time but she reached out and let me know that they decided to move on with other candidates and then said, “do you want feedback?”, I said sure. She proceeded to tell me general skills on interviewing and how to prepare and to have mock practices with others to feel comfortable. Are you joking????! That’s what you wasted my time to tell me? And continued on how I can improve to do better interviewing at Intuit. I asked if she wanted to hear my thoughts and feedback. She paused and said yes. I explained how much time it took to prepare which was LOTS more than they estimate and that I didn’t feel that either of us were doing our best to communicate during the interview and when she interrupted me to interject something else about how best to answer questions, I said it’s fine, I don’t want to take any more of her time/day with this and she said something short and HUNG UP! HUNG UP –I was a little a bit shocked but very happy not to ever bother having any contact with her or Intuit again.

Interview
Appears to be great company and role but very unreliable interview process…. Recruiter reached out to me proactively for a role. Interviewed for one role and hiring manager asked if I’d be interested in same role under another hiring manager. I said sure. I interview with that (2nd) hiring manager. Feedback from recruiter was very positive (from both) then she surprises me by saying there’s an internal candidate they’re considering and they made an offer before giving me a chance to interview. Ok… that recruiter introduces me to another recruiter for a third identical role…. I go through another (2nd) recruiter and (3rd) hiring manager call. They again provide great feedback and say they want me in for final interview. We discuss timeline and that another candidate was interviewing following week. I am flexible and say ok great I have some personal things planned due to holidays but can align my timing then as well if you’re looking to close role soon and have others interview. Recruiter emphasizes their flexibility and denies that offer, saying it’s unnecessary and he’ll schedule me after the holidays, yet encourages me to get started on a case study presentation in advance. I say great. While I am under the impression my final interview would be in a week or so, I then get an email from recruiting letting me know that they decided to hire the first person they interviewed and withdrew the invite to final interview.
After 5 rounds, 3 roles and 3 hiring managers they said “there will be more roles next year to consider me for.” I was surprised at the lack of transparency and candidate fairness in this process. I did not expect a company of this caliber to invite you to interview, only to revoke that offer after interviewing one person. Kudos to the first interviewee for clearly impressing! I am sure they didn’t want to lose them and understand how that aspect works. I guess I just share this as advise if you interview here… just be sure you’re the first to schedule your interview as it’s a first come first serve process.

Interview
This was probably the most bizarre interview. I’ve been a part of. It was a call with the hiring manager, who was off camera the entire time. The questions were not difficult and I was overqualified for the job, but I did not hear back.
