Process

Intuit allows candidates to interview with multiple teams. I interviewed with a number of them, and the process is relatively similar: two phone screens, then an onsite interview.

Questions are a mix of behavioral and technical.

In my opinion, basic phone screen questions like 'What is an abstract class?' say nothing about a candidate's ability to succeed on the job, but it's just part of the game. It's more about your willingness to do some Google searches and prepare, rather than about whether you are a good engineer.

Questions

Just look up "top ten X technical questions" on Google, where X is algorithms, Java, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, behavioral, etc. I know it's silly, but do it anyway, because that's what they ask.
