Overall horrible and exhausting. The interviewers lacked technical knowledge or properly expressing what they wanted. They also kept interrupting and some of them came off as rude. I have given many interviews before including day long coding but this was the worst, that's what differentiate a trully strong technical person. They had no idea on how to ask questions to a senior and when I mentioned my strong experiences they had no follow up questions, I was so surprised that they didn't bother asking about performance or project organization. Kept asking silly coding things which a simple google search can tell you. Clearly back dated on technologies. They have a set structure for interview and not flexible or open enough to recognize talent. UI teams questions were plain weird, kept telling me don't worry about this or that but tell me this..like had one set answer in mind. Managerial round was also a waste of time, they make you go through that round even if the technical wasn't good. The manager didn't had much idea about new technologies and when I mentioned some items kept just repeating this isn't new, so it was laughable that any tech lead with some knowledge would be able to know what is new and what is not. I was initially enticed to work here for the good comp reviews but if working here means micromanagement, politics and no good coding experience then thanks but no thanks. It seems most people just wrote the feedback because of the good comp and may be they are in a better team not sure, my interviewers were somewhere from US, having worked in both countries I wouldn't be surprised if the US part has more toxic culture. Oh did I mention, they asked me to create a big presentation cv and didn't even bother seeing it or asking anything on it.
Applied through referral after initially applying on the careers page. The process started with a recruiter screen discussing my background, tech stack, and role expectations. This was followed by a 1-hour phone screen with coding questions using the Glider platform. The onsite loop was around 6 hours and included a backend hands-on exercise, system design discussions, and deep dives into my solution and past experience. Recruiter communication was clear and timely throughout the process.

Online technical coding sessions followed by three different interviews ranging from technical questions, behavioral questions. I had to pass the online technical session first before going to the next round.

I applied in-person. I interviewed at Intuit (Bengaluru)
Interview
screen, could include dsa, technical for an hour
craft round which includes a craft given, and a working applicaiton to be built around ahead of the interview. Then the panel questions on the same during the craft round. Followed by Technical round which includes dsa or lld or hld. behavioural with Hiring manager
