Intuit

• Laser-like focus on ensuring only "nice" folks get through the door. This is a good thing. You'll find no arrogant or rude folks in this company. It only takes one bad apple to be a "virus" to a company. Those with egos or bad attitudes need not apply.

• Open seating work environment. It's okay, I suppose, but also not bad. Nice to work right next to your immediate colleagues.

• Healthy options for all the free food/drinks they offer.

• Great onboarding process. You are actually forced to learn the product and understand what actual end users work with before really even being productive. Regardless of position, you get to "shadow" customer service reps to understand the daily problems users call in about and experience the incredible professional attitude the reps portray. Management understands there is a learning curve and gives ample time to deal with that.

• Since the acquisition by Intuit, the benefits of this place are almost out of this world. Honestly, the benefits here are even better than many places you'll find in Silicon Valley. For being in Eagle, ID, you'll not find an establishment with better benefits.

• The state of the company and earnings is internal public knowledge. There are no secrets about "how much the company earns daily" kept huddled only by upper echelons of management. Daily, all employees can see exactly how much new revenue is generated, etc.

• People are down to earth. No (or very little) bureaucracy. Management layers are kept thin, and there is little red tape to deal with.

• No pointing fingers when mistakes are made. It's a SaaS product. Sometimes things happen where you can break the software. This is known, and you learn and grow. Employees rally around and, rather than pointing fingers, steps are taken to instead identify root causes.

• Work/life balance is amazing. You won't burn yourself out working 10-hour days here. It's very normal to just put in 40 (unless, under certain conditions, there are critical emergencies...). The mantra is that if we're sprinting to get something out the door, we're really just walking, and better planning/scheduling needs to be done rather than over-working employees.

Provided coffee mugs are too small :(

Keep up the great work.

Keep the focus on only getting nice folks in the door.

Continue to build relationships with your direct reports, and even those that don't directly report to you (I know time can be a constraint).

And, keep the customer always first and very immediate to all employees, even to the developers/marketers hiding under rocks :)
