Intuit

• Small company atmosphere that is globally dispersed, with good intent to do big things in the future.

• Executives from the Board, CEO, and senior levels engage with employees at all levels.

• Innovation is invested in, and solid progress is being made to bring ideas to life and to the market.

• Tough decisions are made and executed on business plans to drive growth.

• Career growth and advancement are available if you are willing to make the investment in yourself and step outside your comfort zone to take on risks and achieve goals. The company truly supports this in valuable ways.

• Follow through on the Business / Product / Engineering disciplines to see features and services through the full lifecycle, not only through initial deployment, but through the first course correction post-launch. Leaders and some key staff within these disciplines leave for new assignments before they can truly be part of the team to lead and experience the corrections needed to make their investment in these features and services pay off for customers. People are missing out on the value of accountability and fortitude.

• Somewhat slow on staff and production integration from key acquisitions. However, progress is being made in this area at high and mid levels with strong signs of impacting the front lines, which should lead to some stellar products and services for our customers.

• Far too easy on the competition. The company has a lot of technology and usage around its products that it needs to appreciate and demonstrate in the market.

Categorize, review, and rank the thousands of ideas that have already been generated from the white space, brainstorm, and idea jam initiatives. Invest heavily in the top ones to bring them to life in the market.

Demand and implement a Support Matrix that matches market usage on key operating systems and browsers for our Web Services. Intuit products and services should work on the most used Windows, Mac, and Linux OS's, and work on the most used web browsers. Even have our product work on some of the less used (but important) browsers for recognition in this space.

Continue aggressively pursuing mobile and global mindsets, products, and services.
