How long is the RPM program?
The RPM program is a 2 year program consisting of one year-long rotation followed by two six-month rotations. Each rotation is carefully vetted for business priority and committed manager. The rotations are matched to the RPMs based on growth and development needs.
What mentorship opportunities will RPMs receive as part of the program?
The RPM program provides multiple opportunities for mentorship. Each incoming RPM is paired with a buddy from the cohort a year ahead. They also get coaching from their rotation manager, another PM peer on the rotation team, the RPM Program Manager, and senior mentors across the organization (matched based on interest or development needs).
What learning opportunities will RPMs receive as part of the program?
The RPM program starts off with an intensive two-week hands-on training on being a Product Manager at Intuit. PM leaders from across the company lead sessions around building requirements, measuring success, utilizing machine learning as a PM, experimentation, and go-to-market strategy, while RPMs apply their learnings to a hands-on project for an actual product team. The program offers ongoing training open to all members of the RPM community throughout the duration of the RPM program. Finally, each RPM rotation is staffed with a manager who is dedicated to cultivating early-career PM talent and wants to see you succeed.
What happens after the RPM program is complete?
After the program, each RPM has a wide range of experiences to pull from in order to identify what they value in a product team. Once the program is complete, the RPM Program Manager will work with each RPM to identify what team best meets the needs of the RPM. However, most RPMs end up loving their final rotations so much, they will often stay on that team!
What makes Intuit’s RPM program different from others?
Personalized approach to each rotation. Rotations are matched, selected or designed by RPMs based on skills to develop, product areas of interest, new experiences & teams.
Established and supported program. With 20 years of investing into the rotational program, we have optimized rotation structure, training, and community building. Internally this program is well known and well loved by the community. Consistently we have more demand for RPMs than we can staff, 100% of Rotation Managers endorse their RPMs, 100% of RPMs stay at Intuit at the end of the program, and our alumni are now leaders at Intuit and beyond.
Focus on building a close-knit community. It all starts with hiring top talent that cares about Intuit’s mission, its products, its customers, and each other! RPM cohort size is small to create a close community, everyone starts on the same date once a year, and the first few weeks are dedicated to building that community through training and socials. Intuit RPM sponsors ongoing events, training, and growth opportunities across the company and geographies.
How should I prepare for the Intuit RPM interviews?
Once you start the interview process, the recruiter will provide you with resources on how to be successful throughout the interview process. If you’re looking to get a headstart, some of the current RPMs found Cracking the PM Interview to be helpful during the process.

What do PMs do at Intuit?
PMs at Intuit are responsible for combining product expertise with technical depth, creativity, and grit to ship delightful experiences to customers. Every PM’s role is different depending on the product(s) they’re working on, but it frequently involves a heavy measure of collaboration: speaking directly with customers to understand their needs, huddling with designers to create a solution that meets those needs, working with engineers to build that solution, sitting down with data scientists to analyze the results, conferring with marketing & customer success representatives to manage the product’s roll-out in the real world, and then sharing it all with company leadership. Building product roadmaps in partnership with PMs across the organization and designing rapid experiments to test hypotheses are two other key parts of most Intuit PMs’ day‑to‑day roles.
Which parts of Intuit could I work on?
Intuit is an AI-driven expert platform that powers prosperity around the world with consumer- and small-business focused fintech products: QuickBooks, TurboTax, Mailchimp, Mint, and Credit Karma. RPMs have worked in all of these areas and more, though traditionally most RPMs complete at least one rotation on QuickBooks. If you’re interested in working in a particular area, the RPM program can help to make that happen if an opportunity exists.
Where is the RPM program based? Can it be remote?
Intuit is a global company with headquarters in Mountain View, California, and offices around the world. Most Intuit PMs live within commuting distance of an Intuit office and come in on a hybrid basis, however works best for them and their teams. To build the community that’s core to RPM, it’s expected that RPMs move to the San Francisco Bay Area prior to starting the program. After in person training in Mountain View, you can work in a hybrid environment depending on your team’s preference. Some teams may be in San Diego, Boise, or Atlanta — but due to the rotational nature of the program we’d like you to start in the Bay Area and then work with your team on what works best for you.
