Complete waste of time!

They don't respect their candidates. They'll ask you to jump through multiple hoops but won't take 5 minutes to tell you they've filled the position or that a meeting was canceled.

I had multiple interviews with Intuit. The first was a phone interview with a recruiter. Then, an on-site 1-on-1 with a technical person (present your background, past experiences, algorithm questions). People were friendly and respectful (even if I was really bad at the first interview out of stress).

Then, they asked you to create a project for them with multiple constraints. The project was interesting and well thought out (the constraints really guided the design).

After the project's validation, they invited me for a final interview, totaling 3 hours:

• 55 minutes for a presentation to a panel of 4 people (and you have to do a presentation, so more work for you).
• Followed by multiple technical and competency interviews (with different people).

I put in the work, prepared my presentation and the interview, and went into the office (they ask you to be there 15 minutes ahead of time). I only waited for 45 minutes in the lobby for someone to tell me the meeting was canceled and the position had been filled.

I can't tell you how disappointed I was after all the effort I put in. It's even sadder considering that most people I interacted with were nice, respectful, and professional. It's really bad to end on such a bad note, considering most people in the process put in the effort to make it enjoyable.

This is completely unprofessional and shows a lack of respect towards the candidate, demonstrating that the effort is completely one-sided.

They said it was a mistake and they were supposed to contact me, but the least they could have done was make sure I received the information (ask for a confirmation email) or, even better, call in person. After all the time and commitment to this process, this is really the least they could do.

I wanted to share this experience so that this mistake won't happen again and hopefully others won't waste their time.
