Final Thoughts
Intuit’s Interview Loop:
(4 Back to Back Rounds) This process is unique to Intuit with 4 rounds on same day with 30-45 mins gap.
𝗩𝗲𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗰𝘁: Position On Hold 😔 I did good in all rounds waiting eagerly. I was confident enough. But, after multiple calls recruiter consoled me that the team was positive but budgets didn’t get approved.
