Pros

On paper, Intuit offers everything a great company should. Solid compensation and benefits, a nice variety of work options. It encourages employees in community involvement, offers employees time to pursue other interests. If you can find a great manager within Intuit, you'd find a great place to work.

Cons

On paper, they're great, in reality the Intuit environment seems a bit soulless. Rather like having parents who prefer to shower their children with gifts,in lieu of devoting quality time in parenting. Intuit is extremely outcome driven without putting in place the plans to achieve those outcomes. Subsequently, there are many blame games played when those outcomes fall short. Intuit has lost it's knowledge of how to grow their own quality products. They routinely acquire smaller companies that make great products, like Mint, absorb the technology, then dump the newly acquired folks that don't "fit" into the Borg collective.

Pros

I really enjoyed working with Intuit because it was a fast paced environment that pushed me to grow professionally. I appreciated the strong focus on customer experience, the support from leadership, and the opportunity I had to advance into a Tier 2 role within the same season. It strengthened my communication, problem solving, and multitasking skills while allowing me to help customers during stressful situation

Cons

One challenge for me was feeling somewhat disconnected from upper management and operations leadership at times. Most of my direct support and communication came from my team leads, who were very hands on and helpful. I tend to work best in environments where there is strong visibility and engagement from leadership across all levels.
