Overall horrible and exhausting. The interviewers lacked technical knowledge or properly expressing what they wanted. They also kept interrupting and some of them came off as rude. I have given many interviews before including day long coding but this was the worst, that's what differentiate a trully strong technical person. They had no idea on how to ask questions to a senior and when I mentioned my strong experiences they had no follow up questions, I was so surprised that they didn't bother asking about performance or project organization. Kept asking silly coding things which a simple google search can tell you. Clearly back dated on technologies. They have a set structure for interview and not flexible or open enough to recognize talent. UI teams questions were plain weird, kept telling me don't worry about this or that but tell me this..like had one set answer in mind. Managerial round was also a waste of time, they make you go through that round even if the technical wasn't good. The manager didn't had much idea about new technologies and when I mentioned some items kept just repeating this isn't new, so it was laughable that any tech lead with some knowledge would be able to know what is new and what is not. I was initially enticed to work here for the good comp reviews but if working here means micromanagement, politics and no good coding experience then thanks but no thanks. It seems most people just wrote the feedback because of the good comp and may be they are in a better team not sure, my interviewers were somewhere from US, having worked in both countries I wouldn't be surprised if the US part has more toxic culture. Oh did I mention, they asked me to create a big presentation cv and didn't even bother seeing it or asking anything on it.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Intuit (San Jose, CA) in Nov 2023
Interview
Screening interviews with follow up 1 hour panel presentation and individual interviews with panelists and then final interviews with executives. Panel presentation consisted of 3 parts: introduction of self, sharing of examples of past work and then responding to a craft case prompt. To be successful candidates really need to put time and research into the craft case.
