I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Intuit (San Diego, CA) in Jul 2020
Interview
Typical recruiter phone screen followed by technical phone interview, and then 6 hour virtual onsite with craft demo and and an about me presentation of including career highlights + projects. Interviewers were generally friendly, would say a bit under-skilled by the level of questions asked during craft demo.

Craft Demo:
You are building a Market Place for Self-Employed.
You have two actors:
Seller: Posts a project with details requirements. The post also includes the last day and time for accepting bids.
Buyer (Self-Employed): Bids for work on a fixed price or hourly basis.
High Level Requirements:
Assume all projects can be done remotely/online. You do not need to worry about matching by location. The Buyer with the lowest bid automatically wins the bid when the deadline is reached. Lowest bid is displayed on the project page. We have 50K registered Buyers. On average, 100 projects are posted every day. On average, each project receives 50 bids. On the homepage, we need to show 100 most recent projects. You are welcome to assume unspecified requirements to make it better for the customers.
Programming Problem:
If you are a front-end engineer: Feel free to mock backend service responses and use any library/framework of your choice.
If we are Full Stack Engineer: Build the service-side part along with the Front End part mentioned. For Building Services you can use In-memory database, also Optionally you are welcome to use a persistent data store of your choice. You are encouraged but not required to take advantage of a service code-generation framework of your choice when performing this exercise.
Find non-duplicate in an array of duplicates and one non-duplicate.
One other leetcode easy question that the interviewer apparently had no idea how to solve it himself lol...
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.
