Got call directly from HR, was asked for a date and they asked to keep 4 hrs for interview. Before calling me to their office they had sent a link for coding challenge. After that i went for interview and in 5 min they asked me to leave for the day. I think even that round they should have done over phone instead of wasting my whole day and their 5 minutes.

Question 1
They asked me to design restaurant table booking system, as and when i was explaining they never seemed happy right from first sentence and in 5 min asked me to leave since i m not the right fit, I think they should be doing this round over phone and they calling people to office. Such a waste of time and money going to the office for interiew. i have read others review for intuit and it looked like they asked technology questions, but this was bad.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Intuit (Mountain View, CA) in May 2016
Interview
There was a phone round screening, which was scheduled for an hour but went about 10 minutes over. Interviewer was professional and not a text book questioner.
I was called in for an on-site for about 5 hours.
Interviewed with the manager over lunch then I was handed over to engineering folks to interview.
I was provided a computer to work on and asked to implement some questions. It is called craft work. Went well and the interviewers confirmed I had the solution.
Next it was QE and Engineers - this was the interview, which was very interesting in terms of questions asked - mock data, unit test, code coverage etc. Very relevant ones. Ensuring bridge between QE and Engg. Then I was interviewed by the Product Manager. All of them confirmed that I had answered them everything that they were looking for.
Now this get comically interesting to me. 4 days later I get a call from HR to inform me that I did well and they liked my attitude and answers, but team has decided not to hire me instead refer me to other teams and I am still active. Most bizzare - say either yes or no. And, for that reason, I have given a thumbs down.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Intuit (San Diego, CA) in Jan 2016
Interview
The interview starts off with a brief phone interview with HR followed by hiring manager. The ask you to prepare a program before coming in and present it. I was impressed with that part of the interview but that was the extent of it.
The staff they have focus on a lot of details that don't really address whether you're a good engineer or not. They were more interested in the munition of the language than anything else. It was also frustrating that they gave no time for you to ask questions or get a feel for exactly what they were looking for. It seemed to me they were more interested in their own needs than having a mutually beneficial conversation. I really felt this wasn't a fit for them or me after I left and wouldn't have taken an offer if one was given. Pay was too low and job seems like you'd be battling your way through all the time.
