Intuit

Great benefits. Compensation is pretty good. Flexible hours.

Intuit is a very politically driven company. Tax DIY is a dying business since many competitors are offering DIY tax prep software for free.

Though Intuit tries hard to be a software company, it is not entirely a software company. There are more people in the functional space than in the engineering department.

The quality of engineers is pretty bad because good engineers usually cannot survive the politics here. The company hires a lot of contractors, so that causes a lot of churn.

Honesty and integrity are key to retaining top talent.

Try hard to remove politics.

Have a zero tolerance policy for leaders who cover their mistakes and reward leaders who admit mistakes and are open enough to share their learnings.

Reward employees who operate in a boundaryless manner.

Recognize that company transformation at the expense of hurting existing employees has a cost associated with the future of the company. Balance is key to successfully transforming the company to the point where the gains made are durable and lasting.

Continuous re-organization indicates poor decision-making skills.

Without retaining top talent, the company's future is at risk.
