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.
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 Dec 2010 in San Diego, CA (took 3 months)
Applied on Intuit website (not a Taleo system - yea!), contacted by company recruiter via email to set up phone interview with her. Phone screen was short: 15 mins. Very brief about background, she had three specific questions and gave me her target salary range. She set up phone interview with hiring manager who had about 15 - 20 candidates to screen. It was a 30 min call - more questions about experience and background. Led to on site 1-hr interviews with 6 people, including lunch interview with hiring manager. They provided names and titles of interviewees in advance so there was time to check them out on LinkedIn, google, etc. Interviewers had sheets with questions to cover different areas - including behavioral questions. My background was very different from this company and its industry - they were very good about asking questions I could successfully answer despite that. Dress was business casual - no one there wears a suit - I wore dressy pants, silk blouse, cardigan and felt sufficiently dressed for an interview.
Negotiation Details
HR recruiter called to offer me the position about a week later and tried to nail down specifics of the offer by phone. Very open to negotiation and interested in past $$. Written offer came via email. I again negotiated salary -- but really did have another offer so i had additional leverage.

Interviewed Dec 2009 in San Diego, CA (took 3 weeks)
Contacted by first recruiter to ask general experience questions. Asked for my previous salary, which was optional. Asked if I was willing to relocate.
Second recruiter was more senior and gave me very specific feedback about the way I introduced my story, which was incredibly helpful and helped me stand out. She told me she would set up an interview with the hiring manager and what to expect. She recommended I use STAR model to frame my answers.
To prepare, I searched sample behavioral questions and prepared stories for each one.
First phone interview were general industry questions and background. It went well so he said over the phone he'd like to arrange for on site interviews.
Interviewed 6 people individually using a formal template of behavioral questions. Many questions overlapped so I repeated the same stories to several people. Overall very friendly, not overly pushy, and very easy going if you've prepared enough stories to cover many types of behavioral questions.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
Very difficult to negotiate. They pressed for information on competing offers or interviews. Trying to negotiate over the phone is useless. They will not give you a formal offer letter until you've nearly committed over the phone to take it, and they even threatened to take back their verbal offer. Once you get the letter, there's no room for negotiation unless you are willing to walk away. Best advice would be to watch a few salary negotiation videos on Youtube to prepare.
