Interview
I got an email from their recruiter asking me for my availability for a phone call, I replied with the dates I was available but the recruiter didn’t reply back even after sending a second email, they still didn’t reply. Around a month later I applied for another position and we set up the interview with the recruiter, everything went fine so we scheduled a Remote Desktop meeting with the software architect. No one showed up on that meeting, and I spent more than 30 minutes waiting. I sent a couple of emails asking them what happened, they didn’t reply either. Not sure if they realize that people might have to take a day off for these meetings.
This is the worst experience I ever had in an interview process (if you can call this a process). Very disappointed...

Interview
Very professional interview process, but be prepared to code on command in a "share your screen" environment. Like me, if you are a person that has "test anxiety" or have problems coping with interviewers peering over your shoulder while you're trying to remember the exercise instructions, you may find yourself misrepresenting the skills you have. With that said, however, I can appreciate how this process is needed. This "trial by fire" interview style definitely has me brushing up on my under pressure skills.

Question 1
Asked me to share my screen so they could watch me code.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Intuit (Woodland Hills, CA) in Jun 2018
Interview
HR phone screen, tech screen including an online live coding session. Next was a offline coding project to build a REST Api for a twitter like application and present that at the in person. The interview process itself was generally well done and communication was excellent, HR was very helpful with keeping me up to date on the process and that things were slow due to vacations. Ultimately there was a miscommunication early in the process which wasted everyones time. I initially declined the role after the HR screen as the salary was much too low. HR emailed me 2 weeks later saying he spoke with the manager and he can hire the position as a Senior engineer, but apparently this was not the case. When the final offer came in it was the original rate HR presented and I declined. I asked what happened to the Senior position and fwd the email to the hiring manager but that HR employee had left the company and I never found exactly where the disconnect occurred. Many hours wasted on the tech screens, the coding project and the in person interview for a position 2 levels below my current role.
