I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Intuit
Interview
The biggest waste of time in my entire career, and I've had quite a few passed and failed interviews in my time. Took me through the entire application process, from talking to the recruiters to technical screening to a full day panel interview only to tell me I don't have enough experience with something that is NOWHERE on my resume, isn't truly spelled out in the job description and has not been extensively asked about during the interview process. Every single person during the process had access to my resume (I assume...) and did not flag this. If this was their way of letting me down easy, they should know better. I honestly expected better from someone like Intuit.

round 4 take home assignment review on why you did certain things
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.

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.
