OA tests DSA and general web dev concepts. 1 hour of OOP in Karat consisting of debugging and additional methods. Quick behavioral interview after that to check alignment with Intuit values
The interview process consisted of multiple stages. It began with an initial screening call with a recruiter, where they asked about my background, current role, and interest in the position. This was followed by a technical interview that focused on test automation, API testing, and problem-solving. I was asked to write test cases, explain bug lifecycle, and walk through test strategies for both frontend and backend applications. In the final round, I had a behavioral interview with a QA manager and a developer to assess team fit, communication, and collaboration skills. Overall, the process was structured, professional, and took around two weeks from the first contact to the offer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked me to describe how I would design an automated test strategy for a web application with both frontend and backend components. I had to explain the tools I would use, such as Playwright for UI testing and Postman or REST-assured for API testing, as well as how I would structure the test cases, manage test data, and integrate the tests into a CI/CD pipeline.
I applied through other source. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Intuit (Toronto, ON) in May 2025
Interview
Recruiter Call
Introductory conversation to understand your background and walk you through the interview process.
First Round – LeetCode Coding Challenge
One algorithmic problem (e.g., Coin Change) to assess your problem-solving and coding skills.
Second Round – 4 Hours Total (Split into Two Interviews)
First Interview (90 minutes – UI Implementation + Coding)
You’ll be given a GitHub repository ahead of time.
Start by demonstrating Craft Presentation.
Then, implement 2–3 user stories (e.g., add a progress bar, create a details page, implement search functionality).
Some simple follow-up questions may be asked around your code and approach.
Second Interview (1 hour – System Design + Experience Discussion)
Includes a real-world system design exercise.
Also covers questions about your past work experience, architectural decisions, and technical trade-offs.
Third Interview – AI Concepts (30 minutes)
Focuses on general AI concepts.
Very basic and high-level—this was the easiest round.
Fourth Interview – Managerial/Behavioral Round (30 minutes)
Conducted by the hiring manager.
Focuses on behavioral and situational questions to evaluate communication, leadership, decision-making, and team fit.
Most important round – despite doing well in all other interviews, I was rejected due to this one. Strong preparation here is critical.
