Process
I was told that the interview process has changed recently, where a take-home project is given to candidates.
If a candidate moves to the next stage, they will be called on-site.
Intuit's technical folks and architects are smart and very friendly. On the other hand, the recruiters are very slow in their responses, follow-ups, and actions. They make a good company appear sub-par.

Pros: Everyone I've worked with is intelligent, kind, and genuinely cares about your success.
Benefits are superb, and pay is very good.
The work is meaningful and challenging.
Cons: Work experience can vary greatly depending on which team you are in, due to Intuit being such a large company.

Happiest place I've ever seen
Staff Software Engineer • Current Employee
San Diego, California, United States
February 12, 2016
Pros: Lots of people really love their job here.
Laid-back environment (except during crunch tax time).
Access to leaders who genuinely care about you.
Good pay.
You will become a better person by working here.
Cons: If you want to create too much change, they will push you out.
It's the Intuit way or the highway. Although the Intuit way is very nice, an example is team X doesn't respond to email for a week. Instead of looking them up, calling them, or finding them in person, you are expected to relax and trust that everything will work out. This sometimes means delays, and it's not something I'm terribly used to coming from the startup world.
