Software Engineer Interview Experience - Mountain View, California

Process

I had a phone screen with the HR person, which went fine. I then had a phone screen with the manager, which also went well. However, he didn't ask any technical questions. I believe this would have set expectations for what they were looking for and saved everyone a lot of time.

After two weeks, I was brought in for an in-person interview. The interview went fine, but I knew I didn't pass the technical bar.

Again, I reflect on the phone screen process. If they had asked some technical questions then, we would have both known they were looking for someone with backend knowledge, and I could have enjoyed a day at the beach.

I never heard back from Intuit after the interview. I knew I didn't get the job as soon as I left. However, it is common courtesy to let the person know. Recruiters at Intuit need to do their job and provide basic feedback.
