Very rude and arrogant people. Panel enters the room, completely ignores you and argues with the HR coordinator for some confusions. No basic courtesy to either say hi to the interviewer or have the discussion outside with HR.
It seems they had decided before coming to the room only and interview was just a formality to reject one. I told once, i dont have detailed practical knowledge on machine failure, synchronization and clustering. Concepts i am fully aware of, implementation details i dont know. Still same question was round about asked, first when I discribed the project. And then when you ask to code LRU cache, stick to it.
What is the purpose of again asking how is machine failure handled with in-memory cache, like the LRU cache program written. Plain serialization to a text file is not fine, they want synchronization between systems and what to see code for that all within 30 minutes coding round. Are they expecting me to write the source code for memcache or redis when the question was just LRU cache implementation.
Only good part was the HR,who was quite nice and cooperative all the time.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Intuit (Mountain View, CA) in Feb 2016
Interview
The process took 4+ weeks, had a phone screen with the recruiter, followed by the hiring manager. Onsite interview (~5 hours) followed that included craft presentation, followed by other team members. Apparently, all came out positive, because in Intuit, "a maybe" is considered "No". Had been called one more on site for a hour interview by the senior leader as she was not part of the first panel. Recruiter called me after with an offer, negotiated and settled on a number. One of the few times I have seen the recruiter highly engaged giving me an alternate contact info when she went on vacation, etc.

Question 1
Mostly behavioral questions, handling conflict situations, etc., helps if you always point to the examples in your resume.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Intuit in May 2016
Interview
Was contacted by a Recruiter and she immediately scheduled a phone interview with the Hiring Manager for the next day. I was then told that the Hiring Manager would be moving forward with my candidacy and that the Recruiter would contact me in a day or two to schedule my next round.
I tried to follow up with her a couple of times, and was tild that the process is taking time and she would get my next round scheduled soon. Till date, haven't heard back from her. This is absolutely unprofessional on their part. Even after mentioning that a candidate would be moving forward with the process, they just didn't care!
I stopped waiting and accepted another offer.
