Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Bengaluru, India
Process
Had Two Technical Rounds.
Round 1: Design Sudoku Game
Round 2: {Most Memorable ;)} Q1: Design a system with multiple components, all within the same assembly. All these components are independent. Design a communication system such that: a. The sender is not aware of the receiver. b. Any new component addition should not change the system implementation. (I guess the interviewer was also not aware of what he was asking ;)
when he said the sender is not aware of the receiver, hehehehe)Q2: Design a system to handle different types of objects and perform an operation on the sender object. a. Design for scalability; it should handle a huge number of different kinds of objects.
Q3: Find whether an input string has a palindrome. Example: Input Samples: "1234xyzyx5678", "abcdefeabc" Output: A boolean value, True if it contains a palindrome, False otherwise. (In this example, the input strings contain "xyzyx" and "efe" palindromes respectively.)
Questions
After Round 2, I asked the interviewer how he would solve the questions from Round 2's technical interview.
Very smartly, the interviewer did not take any effort to answer and told me to find it out myself.
Was this helpful?

Intuit Work Experiences
- 1.0Sucks to be at IntuitSenior Software Engineer • Current EmployeeBengaluru, Karnataka, IndiaFebruary 20, 2024Pros: Salary & Stocks Goodies Free food at the officeCons: Mandatory layoff of 7% every 6 months to 1 year. Old school project and work. Managers hired in the last 2-3 years are bringing their toxic work culture back to Intuit, leading to a degradation of work culture and a lot of micromanagement. Work-life balance has become the worst in the last 1 year.
- 2.0Don't believe the hype – culture has taken a nosediveSenior Software Engineer • Former EmployeeBengaluru, Karnataka, IndiaOctober 23, 2024Pros: Stocks are still pretty good. General pay, especially if you're a lateral hire, is well above market standards. The interview process is unique and very nice, although you will mostly get incompetent interviewers.Cons: Internal politics and way too much importance on 'image' for GTPW rankings. Work culture is atrocious to say the least. Open bias and favoritism is rampant, with zero fear of consequences. There isn't really any reverse feedback collected for managers (there is a pulse survey, but it's largely inconsequential). Work in the India location is mostly pedantic and throwaway work that American teams don't want to do. The leadership there is a lot more bullish and actually fights and succeeds in getting work for the team. Here, the leadership lacks any kind of spine, right down from the director. Indian middle managers here are mostly either petty, small-minded, or downright incompetent. Since there is a lack of good work here, managers depend on factors like diversity numbers to stay relevant. This, in turn, leads to alarming levels of bias and favoritism. Staff engineers are repeatedly asked not to downrate certain hires but to pick somebody else instead.
- 5.0A good company if you're planning your retirementSenior Software Engineer • Current EmployeeBengaluru, Karnataka, IndiaJune 25, 2025Pros: Lots of perks, like health and mobile, etc.Cons: Mid-management needs to be improved.
