Interview Details –
I had a phone screen with the HR person, that went fine, a phone screen with the manager. That went fine as well, but he didn't ask me any technical questions which I believe would have set expectations of what they are looking for and save us all a bunch of time. After two weeks I was brought in for a in-person interview.
The interview went fine, I knew I didn't pass the technical bar. Again back to the phone screen process. If they would have asked some technical questions then we would have both knew they where looking for someone with backend knowledge and I could have gone to the beach for a day.
I never heard back from Intuit after the interview. I knew I didn't get the job as soon as I left. But it is common courtesy is you let the person know. Recruiters at Intuit need to do there job and provide basic feedback.

Interview Details – I applied for the position through the school's website. I was brought into the company's headquarter and had a total of 4 interviews, with a combination of both behavioral and technical questions. The behavioral interviews consisted of what I did previously on my past internships and school projects and described situations in which I have demonstrated leadership ability. The technical interviews consist of programming questions and brain teasers. I would say that the people with whom I interviewed were all very amicable and intelligent.
