I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Intuit
Interview
Got the call through a referral. They send you a coding challenge and once you complete it, let them know and they'll schedule an interview with a hiring company called Karat.
The questions are medium level leetcode and anyone with decent programming background can do them.
The catch with the technical interview with Karat is that you have to solve at least 2 questions (the second one builds on top of the first one) to proceed further. And therefore, it feels like a speed test, instead of what it should be, coding test. I solved the first one and took some time to debug it, which was why I wasn't able to proceed further. The questions aren't THAT difficult. Here's a tip, before you start this interview, practice coding FAST. Practice by setting yourself a time limit of 15 (or better even, 10) minutes for Leetcode medium
Also, during the interview, don't waste much time explaining your background, try to complete it within 10 minutes.
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.
Interview questions [1]
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.

there were 4-5 rounds taken by uptimecrew in which they gave us plenty of time and each round was not much of technical which were of uptime dont know anything about final round didnt reach till that
