The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Intuit in Mar 2012
Interview
I applied online for an IT security role. Received a response from HR next day requesting to set up time for phone interview. I replied back with few dates and time. Never received a reply back from HR. After a week I thought to follow up and left a VM and a email. No reply again. I was very interested in this position as it was ideal for my skill set and I was confident that I can show them that I am a strong fit for this role. I spent time to research about the company, people and work life. I was eager and I was looking forward to a good discussion.
Intuit should improve its hiring process and implement some values and culture within organization that would help them send a right signal to the community and skilled people that they value time and respect talented individuals.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Intuit (Westlake Village, Los Angeles, CA) in Apr 2012
Interview
I like hiring process of Intuit. They flew me in for F2F interview of 5 rounds.
However 2 of interviewers could not make it personally so took onsite phone round.
The Best thing was, I was meeting with those people whom I would be working not with those panel members who can only be seen during interviews or some meetings.
I was interviewed by Product Owner, Senior Engineer, QA Manager, Architect and Senior Manager.
All round are time bound and they definitely make me comfortable during interviews.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Intuit (Mountain View, CA) in Apr 2012
Interview
Consisted of two 45 min phone interviews. First one was with HR, second one was technical. HR Interview was more of a fit interview. I was asked about my skill sets and background. It's important that you show to HR that you have a passion for computer science & software. I actually interviewed with three different teams because the HR Rep really liked me and wanted to find me a position that suited my background. The technical interview consisted of a lot of java questions and objected oriented design questions. Questions include interfaces, abstract classes, inheritance, polymorphism. Coding question was to write a method that tells whether a string is a palindrome or not.
