   Application

   I applied online. I interviewed at Intuit (San Diego, CA)

   Interview

   Applied through the corp site to a couple of different roles. Recruiter reached out within a week to chat about my goals, experience, why I'm looking, why I'm interested in Intuit. At the end of the call the recruiter said they'd like me to chat with the hiring manager. That hiring manager chat was put on the calendar for the following week (but it took less than 48 hours to get it scheduled). Hiring Manager screen was a deeper dive into my experience as a manager, how I lead, how I deal with challenging situations and grow engineers. This phone call had more technical questions around projects/team s I've led in the past, and what level of contribution I had. There were a couple of very specific domain level questions that I think were intended just as a check to make sure I wasn't just throwing buzzwords around and that I actually had experience with certain tech. Overall the call covered a lot of different topics but was fairly easy. I got feedback within 24 hours that they wanted me to move to the onsite stage, and it was put on the calendar for a little less than two weeks later. There was a take home "assignment". I was a given a prompt (eng management scenario) a few days before the onsite, and asked to craft a presentation around how I'd approach the scenario, with the expectation that I'd have to spend ~45 minutes talking through it to a panel of interviewers at the onsite. Onsite was several rounds and quite long, but similar to most tech interviews. First round was with hiring manager, Staff engineers, and a couple of other managers. Spent about ~10 minutes on intros, then gave presentation during which they interrupted (not rudely) to ask questions or dive deeper along the way). After the presentation there were more questions on topics (e.g. how i make tradeoffs) they wanted to dive deeper into. It didn't seem like anyone had a script. It was more like they were adapting their questions to the content of my presentation. Next round was a 1:1 interview with another manager, who asked me more strategic questions related to how I lead engineering teams. Another round was with two Product Managers seeking to understand what it would be like to work and reason through things with me. Another was with an engineer and manager who asked me to whiteboard a particularly complicated system I led the development of, and they asked a lot of specific questions on why certain tech was chosen, or why something was designed or certain way. Last round was 1:1 with the hiring manager, which was more of a coffee chat, seemingly gauging compatibility in management styles, etc. I had a verbal decision (yes) within 24 hours from the recruiter, and an offer in hand 48 hours after that. In my experience since then, one thing I'm most grateful for in Intuit's interview process is the fact that they have a STRONG policy of getting feedback to candidates (management, IC's, anyone) as soon as humanly possible. I wish more companies were like this.
