I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Intuit (New Delhi) in Jul 2021
Interview
There were 2 interview rounds conducted in 1 day for me. The one in the morning lasted for about 40 minutes. After the basic introduction I was asked to explain one of my projects in detail and the challenges I had to face to complete it. Then I was asked to share my leetcode and gfg profile and also my github account so that my activity can be analyzed. Then I was given one hard problem of leetcode to solve. It was about sorting N linked list into a single list using heap. I was able to explain the logic and code it.
The interview then ended and I asked a couple of questions regarding the company.
I was selected for the second round.
The second round began with introduction, my interests and a small light hearted discussion on my name.
I was then asked about explaining one of my projects, the challenges I faced and there was cross questioning about my project. This all lasted for about 20 minutes since the interview began. Then I was asked to join the glider link I was shared earlier. Then two DSA questions were asked. They were not so difficult and I was also asked to explain the working as well as time and space complexity. Then I was asked a question from operating system. It was about deadlock and I explained it. Then I was asked to give a pseudocode. I was not able to write it completely but was able to explain my intuition.
I was then asked one DBMS question regarding the ACID properties which was followed by an SQL query. It was about OUTER JOIN and I was able to get it right in the second try.
The interview ended and I asked a few questions about the company . It all lasted for a little over an hour.

round 5 intuit handover
Started off with a coding challenge. Then a 1 on 1 where you are supposed to show the interviewer a personal project. The interview was pretty easy, but the questions were almost all AI related.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
When have you leveraged AI in your work, either personal or professional
I had an initial exploratory screen with a technical recruiter who reached out to me. When I transparently stated my boundaries regarding senior IC leveling to ensure we were aligned, the recruiter became visibly defensive. Instead of navigating the leveling discussion professionally, they expressed frustration, accused me of cutting them off, and suggested I needed to do more homework on the company.
I chose to be transparent to avoid wasting either of our time. It’s disappointing to see a recruiting process that penalizes clear, efficient communication from senior talent, especially when other top-tier tech firms handle these exact boundaries seamlessly.
