I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Intuit (Bengaluru) in Oct 2023
Interview
One of the recruiters approached me through LinkedIn for the position of Senior Software Engineer. HR people were kind and shared the process in detail. First round was a programming round where I was given 2 problems. I solved them using brute force approach but I knew that the problem could be solved in a much more efficient way. The interviewer helped me with clues. Unfortunately, I was unable to clear the round.

Question 1
1. Find all distinct combinations of a given length 2. Find the duplicate in an array of N+1 integers
Applied through referral after initially applying on the careers page. The process started with a recruiter screen discussing my background, tech stack, and role expectations. This was followed by a 1-hour phone screen with coding questions using the Glider platform. The onsite loop was around 6 hours and included a backend hands-on exercise, system design discussions, and deep dives into my solution and past experience. Recruiter communication was clear and timely throughout the process.
