Intuit

Good benefits. Great stock purchasing program. They are very good at talking a big game, but it feels like culture leftover from founder Scott Cook a long time ago, so now it feels like they are just going through the motions.

Pay is not great compared to peers. Promotion processes are convoluted. You need a director or above to sponsor your application. Extremely slow product development is hampered by red tape and invisible gatekeepers. When they acquired the company I worked for, they threw tons of resources at switching our product to their One Intuit login. Last I heard, it's still in progress 3 years later.

Their marketing is out of touch as well. They spent millions on a silly robot Super Bowl commercial while I worked there; it was awful. They also heavily lobbied Congress for less tax filing rights for normal people (for their benefit).

They committed to spend $500 million to put their name on an L.A. stadium while simultaneously firing hundreds of critical customer support workers in 2020, in the middle of COVID, to outsource.

You need actual direction, not just acquisitions. Acquisitions may temporarily prop up the stock price, but getting anything meaningful done and getting it to stick across the ecosystem is damn-near impossible, which hampers innovation. The good people will generally leave when a better opportunity comes up.
