Pros

If you are looking for work-life balance, Intuit is right for you. The benefit package at Intuit is great. Employees can choose to work from home a few times a week. There are lots of training opportunities for career advancement. I took more than 2 weeks off within the last 12 months. Compensation is reasonable compared to similar jobs in other companies.

The company used to be very stable, but there were some layoffs this year. I'm not sure if there are more coming.

You will get a chance to learn book knowledge. Products are over-engineered. Good for you to put all buzzwords on your resume, but maybe not so helpful for the company to deliver.

Cons

Intuit sticks to heavy, overkill processes. Product teams try to adopt agile processes, but the teams only appear to follow agile; they don't grasp the soul and true spirit of agile. Employees have to fill in a spreadsheet detailing how many hours they work each day and how many hours are left in each task. Ironically, the teams move slowly.
