Positive ExperienceGot Offer

Process

I applied online and they responded after two or three weeks. The recruiter was great; he was very friendly but gave me all the information I wanted without stalling.

I had a phone interview with the hiring manager. They got back to me after three or four days asking for my availability for face-to-face rounds.

The second round of interviews consisted of pair programming sessions and they asked some other technical questions.

Questions

I didn't find anything difficult, but they did ask some architectural questions which I didn't answer well.

Intuit Work Experiences

Great benefits, terrible engineering culture

Senior Software Engineer • Former Employee

Menlo Park, California, United States

Pros: Great benefits, better than some top-tier companies, especially health. Easy to get promoted; there was definitely title inflation here. Great work/life balance; few people stayed past 5:00 in my group. * Safari Books Online account * Paid training encouraged

Cons: The most backward engineering culture I've ever been a part of in my 15+ year career. Reorgs over and over and over again, no corporate vision. Questionable job security because they habitually overhire and then layoff. Management doesn't care about running an efficient organization. Core values sound nice, but are often ignored.
