Intuit Senior Software Engineer interview questions

After a short call with HR we scheduled a Zoom meeting (75 min) - a coding test. The interviewer was very nice, but when I presented my solution for a rate limiter using Token Bucket algorithm - it seemed like he is not familiar with this approach and was not ready to hear about it.. I tried to explain multiple times what am I doing and after I implemented the solution I was asked to implement the regular solution.. This was a bit annoying because there was not much time left and my original solution was correct, Anyway, I implemented the basic solution, but I had some conversion issue (from seconds to long), and since I didn't have access to the internet and not enough time - I didn't resolve this. So when I ran the solution the answer was incorrect. After that, I was asked about my AI experience at work (they knew I didn't have any). After a few days I received a rejection mail. First of all - I think that it is better to have 2 interviewers, to have a more objective opinion. Second, I was disappointed that the interviewer didn't accept my original solution, despite the fact that it was correct..

Overall horrible and exhausting. The interviewers lacked technical knowledge or properly expressing what they wanted. They also kept interrupting and some of them came off as rude. I have given many interviews before including day long coding but this was the worst, that's what differentiate a trully strong technical person. They had no idea on how to ask questions to a senior and when I mentioned my strong experiences they had no follow up questions, I was so surprised that they didn't bother asking about performance or project organization. Kept asking silly coding things which a simple google search can tell you. Clearly back dated on technologies. They have a set structure for interview and not flexible or open enough to recognize talent. UI teams questions were plain weird, kept telling me don't worry about this or that but tell me this..like had one set answer in mind. Managerial round was also a waste of time, they make you go through that round even if the technical wasn't good. The manager didn't had much idea about new technologies and when I mentioned some items kept just repeating this isn't new, so it was laughable that any tech lead with some knowledge would be able to know what is new and what is not. I was initially enticed to work here for the good comp reviews but if working here means micromanagement, politics and no good coding experience then thanks but no thanks. It seems most people just wrote the feedback because of the good comp and may be they are in a better team not sure, my interviewers were somewhere from US, having worked in both countries I wouldn't be surprised if the US part has more toxic culture. Oh did I mention, they asked me to create a big presentation cv and didn't even bother seeing it or asking anything on it.
