Three months, two restructurings, a final round interview — and then they cancelled the role entirely. I applied for an Early Career Program Leader role in February. What followed was a three-month process that included a phone screen, a hiring manager interview, a role restructuring and transfer to a new hiring manager, a second hiring manager interview, and ultimately a 3.5-hour final panel interview that included a full craft presentation and case study. The interview process itself was well-designed and the recruiter — genuinely one of the best I've worked with — was communicative, transparent, and professional throughout. If I could rate her separately I'd give her five stars. The problem isn't the interview process. It's what happened after it. Two days after my final round interview, I was informed that Intuit leadership had decided to "deprioritize" the program entirely. The role no longer exists. Not a hiring freeze. Not a hold. Gone. Future candidates should know: Intuit has a pattern — at least in this org — of restructuring roles mid-process and making hiring decisions above the hiring manager's level without apparent regard for the candidates already deep in the pipeline. I invested significant time preparing for a role that the organization wasn't actually committed to filling. If you're interviewing at Intuit, ask early and directly whether the role has full organizational commitment and budget approval. Don't assume that a final round interview means the role is real.
