Intuit interview questions

It was a very senior position but the interview process was completely botched up. I was interviewed by an architect first, who was very cordial but probably didn't have much experience interviewing. We had a very casual chat for 40 minutes during which he barely talked about the last 2-3 years of my 20+ year experience. I was told that the VP will do another screening round for assessing my leadership experience. Again, we had a very nice, casual, unfocused chat where we barely spoke about leadership. Instead the VP asked about cloud architecture, etc. but it was clear that the VP had no background in cloud at all, just knew some keywords. E.g., EKS/ECS/ASG/cross-region replication was not enough - I had to say the magic words "containers" and "auto-scaling". It was a disappointing interview as I felt I was being assessed unfairly by people who were looking for keywords. Doubly disappointing that I didn't get any takeaway - I don't know could I have done better. That said, the interview process itself was very well managed and all the people were cordial. It appears that the people had been trained on interview etiquette, not interview effectiveness. E.g., they seem to have a strict 40-45 minute time limit, which is not enough for an exploratory discussion, especially if we spend it zooming in on one role. Picking between either a longer exploratory discussion or a focused walkthrough would work better for them.

I ran across the opportunity on LinkedIn and reached out to hiring principal manager as it was a dead on fit to my background. TBH I was over qualified but it’s a terrible job market. met with the hiring manager and every thing went very well. Scheduled a follow up and final interview with a panel of four people. It didn’t go particularly well when life cycle marketing manager was looking for a specific answer I didn’t have but insisted on drilling down on it 3 times. So I was flustered and just went through the motions of the rest knowing I wouldn’t be getting an offer. Sometimes it just doesn’t click so I expected a no thanks email. To my surprise the hiring manager was back on LinkedIn advertising the role within a few hours; and as of almost 2 weeks later I’ve been ghosted. Seeing as how we conversed on this platform just days prior I was pretty astonished by the lack or courtesy and not sending a 10 second email saying no thanks. of note HR wasn’t involved in this process in anyway so maybe that’s to blame for the unprofessional behavior of mailchimp marketing.
