Process

I first spoke with Intuit at a campus career fair. The recruiter mentioned that my school is one of a handful of "Target Schools" for them. We spoke for a good chunk of time, and he said he would pass my resume on to HR. It took a while before they got back to me, but I eventually set up a time to talk with them.

The first interview was an hour long. I spent 30 minutes talking to one recruiter and 30 minutes talking to another (the second was the same gentleman from the career fair). They said one would be behavioral and the other more technical, but both interviews were a little of each. Both interviewers were exceedingly nice. They weren't out to trick me, but rather to assess my knowledge.

They asked general programming questions and then gave a hypothetical situation, asking how I would approach it.

They later got back to me, saying that some of the hiring managers were interested in talking with me. We set up a time to speak with two separate managers. This was a pretty straightforward resume review and "get-to-know-you" phone call.

I got a call back about a week later saying they were interested and received a formal offer a few weeks after that.

Questions

I was asked to describe Abstract classes vs. Interfaces in Java.

The second was an abstract problem, and I was to describe how/what I would implement.

Was this helpful?
