Staff Software Engineer Interview Experience - United States

Negative ExperienceGot Offer
Process
Got poached online.
After a successful interview, I was bullied by a recruiter.
The recruiter refused to send a written offer and demanded a verbal commitment. When I stated I was not prepared to reject or accept any verbal offers, they ghosted me.
Overall, it felt like a total scam and a joke of a company.

Bad Culture, Good Pay
Staff Software Engineer • Current Employee
Bengaluru, Karnataka, India
October 10, 2025
Pros: - Good pay.
- Streamlined processes and paved path for service onboarding.
Cons: The leadership is not technically competent and doesn't know how to manage people, creating a bad culture which flows down.
Managers have all the ownership; they are still acting like team leads and don't pass down any ownership to Staff Engineers.
People who are old at Intuit are comfortable and don't want to fix the problems with the system. They have tribal knowledge and they don't share. The system is complicated to understand and the learning curve is steep.
