I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Intuit (Mountain View, CA) in Oct 2017
Interview
Was contacted on a job board by recruiting team.
Interviews were scheduled pretty fast and the process seemed to move rapidly.
First couple of rounds went pretty well and i was called onsite , was given schedule to onsite interview etc.
All of a sudden one day before my onsite they realize that they have more candidates. They want to take one more round of video interview.
I knew it was for rejecting me , but still no option.
In the interview the person asked so difficult and irrelevant questions that already gave me jitters . I was right this was to filter me out.
Very unethical and unprofessional.

Question 1
How do you use AI assistants in software development
Started off with a coding challenge. Then a 1 on 1 where you are supposed to show the interviewer a personal project. The interview was pretty easy, but the questions were almost all AI related.

Question 1
When have you leveraged AI in your work, either personal or professional
I had an initial exploratory screen with a technical recruiter who reached out to me. When I transparently stated my boundaries regarding senior IC leveling to ensure we were aligned, the recruiter became visibly defensive. Instead of navigating the leveling discussion professionally, they expressed frustration, accused me of cutting them off, and suggested I needed to do more homework on the company.
I chose to be transparent to avoid wasting either of our time. It’s disappointing to see a recruiting process that penalizes clear, efficient communication from senior talent, especially when other top-tier tech firms handle these exact boundaries seamlessly.
