Intuit

1. Employees are treated with respect.

2. The annually run Employee Survey is given a lot of weight.

3. Want to learn to be politically correct? This is the place to be. Leaders always coach on this.

4. Compensation-wise, Intuit is in the top quartile of valley companies. It is not the best, but competitive enough if you like doing what you do.

1. The leaders are failing. Messages are muddy, and a whole lot of infighting goes on at the executive level. Some of the business leaders' existence is only known by "Great work, Team" piling on emails. It sometimes gives the impression that they have no clue about what was actually done.

2. IT is the worst-run organization ever. If the company fails tactically, this will be the reason.

3. Political correctness wins over the ability to execute. People are way too scared to spell out the truth. Truthers are politely shown the door, or given enough hints so they leave.

4. The new workplace is anti-productive. We spent so much money on it during the peak recession. It made engineers' lives even more pathetic.

Fix the culture.

Move away from so much political correctness.

As a by-product of a consensus-building culture, people get annoyed easily.

Please act sincerely on employee survey feedback rather than paying lip service.

Bring in sweeping change in IT. Do we really believe the IT org is capable of taking us to the next level? The top leaders at IT have zero technical knowledge.
