Interviewed Dec 2011 in Mountain View, CA (took 3 weeks)
I did not mean to apply for the SE RDP program, but some how found my way to an onsite interview. I was unprepared for the coding question, which was not unexpected, and because of it was declined. However, the team was fantastic, professional in all the ways that matter, friendly and personable as well. In spite of getting declined, I still hold the whole team with high regard.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Mountain View, CA (took 2 days)
Submitted a resume through their recruiting website, and contacted a current employee to pass my resume along. Was contacted to set up a phone interview, which consisted of two 45 minute mostly-technical questions, including reviewing and writing some code in a shared Google doc. From here, was invited to visit on-site in Mountain View. This on-site interview process (which lasted most of a day) consisted of some general presentations about the company and position, several one-on-one interviews which were a good balance between technical and behavioral in nature, lunch, a campus tour, and some additional demo/Q&A type sessions. I found the campus to be very appealing, with a strong emphasis on collaboration and a great atmosphere. The workspaces did not come across like a standard cubicle farm, it felt a lot more modern and appealing.

Asked them to match another offer from a different company, they didn't fully close the gap but did come back with a competitive offer, which I felt was acceptable.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Mountain View, CA (took 3 weeks)
An HR person at Intuit contacted me to let me know that I would be having two thirty-minute phone interviews back to back, where I would call in to a conference line and each interviewer would be on the line at a prescribed time. However, when I called in for my first interview, there was no one on the line. I stayed on the line and called both HR contacts I had (from another phone), but neither picked up. Eventually, the second interviewer came on the line and asked some fairly basic behavioral questions.
HR then called me the next day to reschedule the first interview for later in the week, and when I dialed in a second time, I was listening to a dead line again. Finally, the next week, I completed the other phone interview, which consisted of behavioral questions along the same lines as those of the first interview. Then, it took two weeks, three emails and two phone calls to HR in order to receive an automated response informing me that I would not continue on in the process.
I enjoyed the people I spoke with...when I could get a hold of them. They seemed down to earth and friendly, and each emphasized the unique company culture at Intuit. However, I was extremely unimpressed and put off by the entire interview process overall.

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.
Interview Questions
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.
Interview Questions
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.

Interviewed Apr 2011 in Mountain View, CA (took 6 weeks)
An Intuit recruiter emailed me to set up the phone screen and after that set me up with the hiring manager for a phone interview. The phone interview went well. The hiring manager said that the recruiter would be in touch with me within the next few business days to let me know if I would advance. That was about 4 weeks ago, and the recruiter has not responded to any of my email follow ups. Unprofessional and unorganized.

In the process of interviewing with Intuit...The emphasis they place is on leadership capability and integrity. The recruiter clearly wanted examples of initiative and innovation. They seem to also be committed to looking for people who work best in teams. The analytical and technical skills are an added bonus, it seems. In aggregate, it seems like a highly motivated, results-oriented culture.

Interviewed Jan 2008 in Mountain View, CA (took 2 days)
two rounds of in person internview, first round was very technical and detailed, but relatively easy. the second round was very informal, more of a getting to know you opportunity. offer came after two weeks. the offer was very reasonable so didn't attempt to negotiate. Found out later that there was very wide brackets of compensation packages for each job, thus it may well be negotiable unless you're at the very top end of the bracket.
