Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Recruiter: general experience. Why do you want to work at intuit?
Hiring Manager: Experience with acquisition, CRO & SEO. General work experience. Work scenarios and how I would react, how to deal with agencies, how to measure the success of performance and branding initiatives
Craft presentation & following interviews: deep dive of achievements (asked for more data) . Specific questions about the presentation: How would I prioritize the execution of my marketing plan? What would come first and how would I organice my team to execute it. Management questions and situational questions (what would I do if a team member is not performing well, etc.). Situational questions about the job: why would I assign X marketing budget to Linkedin vs. facebook vs. Google, how would I measure the impact of investing in creating content for the blog, among others. Pain points I saw vs. Quickbook's competitors, highlights of SMBs way of work in México, How would I segment SMBs to be able to tackle those segments with different messaging, CRO tools and most important general best practices.
I applied online. I interviewed at Intuit (London, England)
Interview
I was interviewed by a very rude woman who certainly put me off applying for any roles at Intuit in future, which is a shame as it seems to be a great company. I've never experienced this before as I've always found Talent people to be friendly and helpful. She was really awful. No information about the role or organisation, straight into a series of direct questions delivered in an angry, impatient way, putting me down several times. Her command of the English language is pretty bad too... It was quite a shock.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
She was just bombarding questions, interrogation style, and didn't seem interested in hearing the answers, cutting me off and being frankly rude. This meeting was not informative or helpful at all for the candidate.
I applied online. I interviewed at Intuit in Apr 2022
Interview
For the phone screen, the recruiter was 10 min late and shared that they hadn't even reviewed my resume, (didn't notice I had worked for the company in the past). Even though comp was off, she still wanted me to interview with the hiring manager.
After 15 min waitin on Zoom for that interview, I dropped. Very unprofessional. I was told there was probably a "mix up", but for me, my time is valuable and not to be wasted when the recruiters aren't organized.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Intuit (San Rafael, CA) in Feb 2022
Interview
Recruiter reached out to me via LinkedIn, and another reached out per an internal referral. I advised both of the mutual outreach, and it was agreed I would meet with one and they would share notes with each other.
The recruiter I spoke with wasn’t very warm on the phone. Because I’m a transparent and genuine person, I always like to be personable and ask those I connect with about their own time at the company just out of curiosity and to create an introductory connection, but she sort of just cut me off and asked where I was located. Then she proceeded to ask me more behavioral style questions, and not anything remotely related to my expertise or background, or why I was interested in the role (that I am VERY qualified for) at Intuit. She then advised that she would share notes with her colleague and if they didn’t get back to me later this week, then to reach back out. I followed up twice, total blow off, no response from either. Totally unprofessional to ghost a solid candidate in this way, particularly one with legitimate credentials. What some of these folks don’t realize is that the business world is small and when you behave in this manner, you are disparaging not only yourself, but the brand of the company you represent. Super unfortunate.
