I applied through university. I interviewed at Intuit
Interview
On campus interview. Had 2 interviewers at the same time. Asked about background experience (previous jobs and projects), then moved on to technical questions. Got back to me about a week after the interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Without going too much into detail, one was a tree traversal problem and a bit of dynamic programming or recursion.
Other was a design problem, possibly looking to see your understanding of Java classes, polymorphism, and all that.

Interview questions [2]
Question 1
How do you use AI assistants in software development
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.

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.

Exploratory call with recruiter to learn about my background.
