Questions:
-
What is the difference between
final,finally, andfinalizer? -
You have two eggs and need to climb a 100-floor building. What is the highest floor from which an egg will not break when dropped out of a window from that floor? If an egg is dropped and does not break, it is good and can be dropped again, but if an egg is broken, you cannot use it anymore.
What strategy should you adopt to minimize the number of egg drops it takes to find the solution? What is the complexity or maximum number of trials?

Pros: Great benefits, fair pay, and work-life balance.
Cons: Very political. If you are in the circle, then it's great. If not, layoffs each year. Only political ones survive.

Intuit: A great place to start or end your career
Software Engineer II • Current Employee

Pros: At Intuit, you can expect managers that have your career growth in mind. It's really easy to keep switching projects to truly find what you like, and you're always encouraged to learn and take risks. You can always take the time to learn new skills or build something great.
Cons: To me, it seems like the executive leadership really have no real goals and don't know what they want. My org managers do a fantastic job trying to keep feeding us work and vocalizing the engineers' wants and needs. But once it goes to the higher execs, they don't seem to care and don't have a plan on how to fix any issues engineers or customers really want.
Since executive management doesn't really have an idea of what they want, it's a possibility that at the turn of a hat, your team could get dissolved at any moment, with little or no communication from the top.
