Interviewed Nov 2011 (took 2+ weeks)
They scheduled an initial phone screen, then another, then two in person, then finally one last phone screen, then a rejection with no feedback. They were nice but I felt like I was being led on. The questions weren't hard (basic knowledge of programming/behavioral questions) but it seemed like a lot of positive feedback was given for an ultimate rejection.

I was so perfect for this job but these folks WAY over think it all and end up just being kind of creepy.

Interviewed Apr 2009 (took 2 days)
My interview was for an internal position in another city. I asked the HR Rep if it was a work from home position - never got a response. The interview questions had little or nothing to do with the position. The person I did the 1:1 with said I was the last interviewed but by far the best candidate. There was absolutely no feedback on what I could have done better during the process or why I did not get the job.

Interviewed Aug 2011 (took 2+ weeks)
I was contacted by a recruiter within few weeks of application submission. The recruiter called me on phone for screening/interview and we talked about few minutes over my resume and current situation. Within few days I was able to talk with Hiring Manager for 20 mins and end of that they suggested to talk with one more team member before they call for on-site.
The team member did not show of at first schedule time and took co-ordination in his hand for rest of process. Again next time the interviewer was late by more then 5 mins, inattentive, not seem interested in conversation and rush though the entire process.
After more then week I was finally able to follow up with recruiter and came to know that they are going to hire some one from inside. I felt that team was not in any intention of hiring any outside at first place and the coordination with candidate was way below expectation for this BIG Company.

Interviewed May 2011 in Mountain View, CA (took a day)
I had 7 interviewers spanning a broad range of job functions and areas of focus (engineers, architects, product managers, directors). One interviewer commented after looking at the schedule that the loop might be uncommonly thorough. They asked me questions around technical ability, prioritization, strategy, and situational leadership.
The group was very transparent about the challenges facing the team (after starting here, I can confirm that what they portrayed is indeed reflective of the situation on the ground). Most of the interviewers were very polished, asking questions that really made me think, truly respecting areas of my experience I was not at liberty to talk about, and ensuring a pretty smooth flow to the conversation. One of my interviewers was a little too blunt with the behavioral interviewing best practices, but this had the hallmarks of someone new to interviewing rather than a serious red flag. I wish the loop had gone deeper on hard technical capabilities, as I felt there were some relevant depth of skillset on coding and design that was not quantified as well as it could have been.
Overall a long, challenging day but very positive experience.

Negotiation Details
Negotiation was different from other places I worked in that I was expected to supply the first set of numbers. This is always tricky as you don't want to leave comp on the table but also don't want to turn off an interested team with sky high demands. After that hurdle, I felt that the recruiter actually went to bat for me (as nearly all will say but so few will actually do) in having the comp meet my requirements.
My advice is to have a set of clear, well-grounded comp targets at the start of the negotiations process.

Interviewed Feb 2011 in Mountain View, CA (took 1+ week)
Intuit has one of the best interviewing processes I've ever seen -- the 2 phone interviews (first with the recruiter, then with the hiring manager) each happened on day after the other, and the feedback was super timely. The on-site interview was shortly after the phone interview with the hiring manager, and consisted of a half day with about 6 different business partners in my department. Everyone was super professional, friendly, listened, and asked insightful questions. I had a great feeling after the interview, and they moved really quickly in making me an offer (and even accommodated a vacation that I had planned). Awesome interview process.

Negotiation Details
Like most larger firms, Intuit has certain salary bands that employees at each level have to fall into. However, I was still able to negotiate and get the dollar amount that I knew would make me happy and motivate me to work really hard for them -- something they acknowledged as being important. They got approval for the amount I was looking for, and were very polite and understanding during the offer phase.
Other Details
I got the interview through an Employee Referral and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview and a Background Check.

Interviewed Jun 2011 in Bangalore (India) (took 1 week)
Director of R&D called me over the phone. And instead of explaining me the Job description he started asking me about my profile. Which went on quite easy. During interview he seems to be busy with something and thinking of wrapping the interview as quickly as possible. He finished up whole conversation within 15 min and asked me " Do I have any questions?" I asked me "What Next?" ... he told me he will discuss with his peers ... :-(

Interviewed May 2011 (took 1+ week)
After applying on-line, I was contacted by a corporate recruiter within five days of application submission. The recruiter e-mailed me and we set up a time for an initial phone screening/interview. The screening lasted about 20 minutes and was the typical resume run-down with a few more in-depth questions related to experience pertinent to the details listed in the job description. The interview went well and I was notified that I would be moving on to the next step in the funnel process, a phone interview with the hiring manager, which would be followed by a final panel interview on-site. The recruiter was extremely nice and very clear in what to expect and when in terms of contact and details. A few days later, the phone interview time with the hiring manager was set via email.
The hiring manager called a few minutes late, which I thought was unprofessional. He seemed very rushed throughout the interview and was very unattentive. The questions were basic - again the resume run-down with really no added depth or complexity on top of my initial phone call with the recruiter. I was given an opportunity to ask questions, which I did, and he answered them briefly. At the end of the interview, it got very awkward as the interviewer seemed to not know how to close out the interview and so there were several long pauses and very strange gaps in communication which I had never experienced before. I tried to close out the conversation in a positive manner but the interviewer seemed to be "spacing out" over the phone. Strange indeed.
Overall, I got the feeling that by the time I spoke with the hiring manager the position had already been mentally awarded to a candidate. The questions I was asked made it clear that they were not making any attempt to get a better view of my experiences or my potential as a candidate. Overall, I was happy with the communciation of the recruiter throughout the process, but the interview with the hiring manager left a sour taste in my mouth for sure.

Interviewed Jan 2011 (took 2 weeks)
Extremely professional conduct by the recruiter as well as the interviewer. Recruiter went through a basic checklist. Scheduled phone interview with hiring manager which lasted approximately 30 minutes. Interview was mostly behavioral.
Recruiter got back to me the following day via email next day with reject.
Advise: Prepare for behavioral interview. Ensure you have sufficient examples from most recent job.
