I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Intuit (Mountain View, CA) in Feb 2013
Interview
This review includes 1 current and 1 prior interview (which occurred a few months ago). Same general experience that lacked professionalism and showed zero lack of respect for my time.
The first interview, many months ago, consisted of talking with 3 levels of recruiters (phone), the hiring manager (phone), 2 team members (phone), 2 team members (onsite), waiting a month to learn that an internal employee took the position. Why was it still open to internal employees at that point? To me, that shows a complete lack of respect for my time.
The recent interview: I was supposed to be there at 9:45 for the setup of an interview that would last all day. I was early. The person that was supposed to meet me and help me setup never showed. When the interview finally started, one person (apparently the prima donna of the group) dominated the conversation and asked me the same question 3 times and, because my thinking was different than hers, she stood up and walked out of the meeting. Don't read anything into that. I was calm and professional in my answer. She just disagreed or didn't like my personal approach. But, to get up and walk out during an interview is childish, unprofessional, and pathetic.
Needless to say, Intuit is off my radar forever. If this level of drama, overblown egos, and lack of professionalism is the norm - and what I would experience on the job day to day - no amount of money is worth this.

I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Intuit in Nov 2012
Interview
Intuit recruits at my campus so I applied at our career fair. I had two on campus interviews, 30 mins each. One was a very traditional behavioral interview, "Tell me a time...". The other was a case study, they read me a short scenario, gave me five-ten minutes to think, then asked me to talk through my though process.
Next they flew me out to HQ for an "Open House" which consisted of three interviews and a day of activities/interactions with employees. I believe you are being pretty thoroughly evaluated all day. The interviews were almost identical to the on campus ones, two behavioral, one case.
Overall it was a pleasant and quick interview process, good people, great company.

Question 1
The cases were the most difficult, they weren't all that in depth, but you could tell they expected a lot out of your answers.

Interview
Wonderful process at Intuit that included 2 rounds of interviews with C-level executives. Very warm interviews where the number one goal was "get to know me" and "make sure I am a good fit for the org"
