Senior Product Manager at Intuit

No Offer – Interviewed in Menlo Park, CA (US) Apr 2013 – Reviewed Apr 17, 2013

Interview Details Was referred to by an internal contact. I first got a call from the recruiter. That call went well so she scheduled a call with the hiring manager about a week later. Had a great call with him as well so they then they scheduled onsite interviews. I met 6 different people for about 45 min each. Basically everyone on the team I would be working with. I was there from 9am to about 2pm. Up this point the process was really smooth and the hiring team was very responsive to my questions.

I thought the interviews went well but I never heard back. Couple of weeks went by and I pinged the recruiter and HR person but they didn't even bother replying back to me. It's been about three weeks now so I think their decision is obvious.

Extremely unprofessional that they don't even reply back.

Interview Question – Most interview questions were about how your product management background. Questions are around how you make decisions, how you use metrics, data, how you decide on best UX etc. There were a couple of difficult questions. One interviewer asked me to whiteboard the process of adding a feature to their current product. How I'd go about doing it, and what it would look like in the end. Also asked one of those brainteaser questions.   Answer Question

Contract Web Front End at Intuit

No Offer – Interviewed in San Diego, CA (US) Feb 2013 – Reviewed Apr 10, 2013

Interview Details Was informal and conducted by peer staff who had not read my resume. They described the job fully, and asked if this was something I had done/could do, but we spent very little time talking specifics or reviewing my work. It was as if they had already decided on someone else and were just going through the motions.

Interview Question – None- interview was a show and tell of their site.   Answer Question

Marketing Manager at Intuit

Accepted Offer – Reviewed Apr 09, 2013

Interview Details Very detailed and thorough interviewing process. Expect a minimum of 4 separate interviews, possibly more. I had an HR phone screening, and was invited back 2 more times, each with 2-3 people interviewing me back to back, in addition to 2 people calling in for phone interviews.

Interview Question – Be prepared to give specific examples of how YOU met/exceeded a challenge.   Answer Question

Negotiation Details – I always ask for more, even if it is a great offer, like this one at Intuit. They did not give me more, as what I was getting was about $20K more than I was making, which they knew, and could leverage. If at all possible, do NOT tell them what you are making. In my case, yes, it was $20K more than I was making, but, I felt I was under paid at my previous job, which doesn't really work when trying to negotiate.

Also, I was given a chunk of Intuit Stock when I started. To my knowledge, they are not providing that to new hires except in rare circumstances like very sought after skill sets, so do your best to negotiate Stock.

Senior Business Data Analyst at Intuit

Accepted Offer – Interviewed on Mountain View, CA (US) Oct 2012 – Reviewed Mar 24, 2013

Interview Details 2 phone screens. First was with the recruiter, 2nd was with the hiring manager. Then I had all-day interviews with about 6 people, all 1:1. The questions consisted of some behavioral questions, some technical, but leaning more towards the behavioral side than some other companies I interviewed with. The overall experience was positive - I got to meet a lot of people on the team and they were upfront with their current challenges and were interested in hearing my thoughts.

Interview Question – I had done my homework and came in prepared, so none of the questions were really unexpected or things I hadn't been asked before in interviews with other companies. It was more of a "let's get to know you and you can get to know us" kind of experience.   Answer Question

Negotiation Details – I had an offer from another firm and pushed for a 5% salary increase to help balance out the offers. Instead got a signing bonus increase, which in retrospect I probably could have stood my ground and gotten the increase in base salary. They're good negotiators. But I'm still making more than I was at my last job, so am not losing too much sleep over it. Also pushed for some small concessions on the relocation side, and probably could have pushed for more there as well.
