Intuit Senior Program Manager interview questions

The interview process was very in-depth and included the following steps: 1. Initial phone screen with the recruiter. 2. First phone interview with the hiring manager. 3. Second phone interview with the hiring manager, during which work samples were requested. 4. A take-home case study assignment, expected to be about an hour in length, with a vague prompt (the recruiter did provide some tips). This also included a five-minute personal section. 5. Panel interview to review the case study, with additional requests for more work samples. 6. One-on-one interview with one of the panelists. 7. Another one-on-one interview with the hiring manager. 8. Final interview with two of the panelists. While I appreciated the thoroughness, the overall interview experience did not meet my expectations for a company like Intuit. The extensive time commitment required from candidates, including multiple work samples and case studies, felt excessive. It seemed particularly unusual to receive multiple follow-up calls after the interviews to further clarify my responses, especially after I had asked during the interviews if there were any concerns or questions about my answers. Additionally, the repeated requests for multiple work samples were off-putting. This practice can come across as if the company might use a candidate's intellectual property without further consideration, or it signals a lack of respect for the time and effort already invested. Although I ultimately received an offer, it was for a contract role, despite applying for a full-time position. This "bait and switch" approach was disappointing. If a candidate is not the right fit after such an extensive interview process and multiple work samples, I believe it would be better to move on to the next candidate rather than offering a contract position instead. Overall, I am very disappointed with this experience and am unlikely to apply for another role at Intuit. The interview process needs improvement, and based on this experience, I am concerned about what it might be like to work there.
