Round 1 OT: This was a timed test that included: - 2 DSA questions - 1 SQL question - 1 Bash programming question Round 2 Getting to know you and Process Overview: This is mostly a non-technical round. The goal is to understand your education/experience background, AI mindset & application and your problem-solving mindset. I was asked to explain a project I had done (in non technical terms), how I used AI for it and how I can prompt to get better responses from AI Round 3 Build challenge: A build assessment focused on real-world engineering skills like concurrency and data processing. We can choose the language as Python or Java. It takes about 2-4 hours and consists of 2 questions. There are 2 more rounds, but they stopped hiring after I was done with the 3rd round

I recently completed the full interview process for a Software Engineer role at Intuit. Although I didn’t receive an offer this time as the hiring cycle closed, the experience was incredibly valuable. Here’s a breakdown of the process: 🔹 Coding Challenge - DP-based DSA problem - SQL query - Basic Bash file operations 🔹 Recruiter Round - Discussed how I use AI tools in development - Walked through my project end-to-end - Prompting strategies for adding new features 🔹 Build Challenge (2–4 hours) - Built 2 assignments using AI-assisted development - Focus on speed + correctness + clean repo submission 🔹 Technical Screen - Deep dive into my solution - Trade-offs, optimizations, caching (Redis) - System-level thinking and cost considerations (RAG, infra) 🔹 Final Round - Presentation-style discussion on approach and decisions 💡 Key takeaways: - Communication and clarity matter as much as coding - Understanding trade-offs is critical at every stage - Knowing how to effectively use AI in development is now a core skill I’m actively looking for Software Engineer roles and would love to connect with teams building impactful products. If you’re hiring or know someone who is, I’d really appreciate a referral. #OpenToWork #SoftwareEngineering #InterviewExperience #Learning
