Intuit

A good company, particularly for engineers.

Although I have been working here for only two months, I have had the privilege of knowing the company very well. Many of my friends who have been working in this company for more than five years also share the same perspective. I heard that people/engineers are so pampered that their efficiency or productiveness automatically decreases. I differ from that. We, as Indians, are really ready to be grinded by managers and others and think that is frugal and ordinary in a working culture. Intuit is different, where respect is there, and that is the best quality I would say for this company.

There is a lot of competition/politics going on in the engineering/management community to impress/show-off their respective managers. Almost everybody (not all) seems to want to impress their bosses. In this process, real innovation, hard work, and creativity take a side lane many of the times, and it becomes a demo-able business many a times. I also saw that many employees complain about not getting even a 10% hike in annual appraisals, but I'm not sure about this. Intuit is famous for its payscales and should rather not do this with its employees. Again, the managers have to become more active on this front.

This organization is really great. I don't know how you can propagate this, but please take care that managers and employees do not waste so much time trying to impress their bosses.

For example, for a demo to higher-ups, employees tend to create a "script" and practice. While this is good in a way, it wastes far more time than needed.

I mean, we are all part of the team. They will actually be automatically impressed if one works hard and honestly.

Also, I would request that you take into consideration the hikes matter, which may be highlighted by AES surveys we have.

Otherwise, I think we are doing great!
