Pros

Intuit still has integrity in its offerings, in its culture, and in its DNA.

It's great to be able to trust that the people who are doing so much with financial data are actually above reproach and not involved in any kind of shady industry practices. Mistakes happen, but in the time I've been here (10+ years), they really are missteps and mistakes and not intent to deceive or defraud anyone.

Cons

Intuit is in the middle of a pivot. They keep selling off and shrinking down. They are down to pretty much two market areas, neither of which is growing (QuickBooks and TurboTax). Of course, they will tell you there is a lot of growth in QuickBooks Online, but it's from QuickBooks Desktop. Actual "new to the product" growth is very low. Intuit has managed to successfully pivot two or three other times. They are still in the middle of this one, so time will tell. But for now, I wouldn't put money on a successful change.

Advice to Management

Same old management. Same old stories year over year. No real change happening. More stuff gets moved to India, more downsizing, more selling off products. Brad has vision, but it doesn't seem to make it all the way down to the rank-and-file workers.
