Intuit

1. Great work-life balance. You are allowed to manage your time and priorities to strike a balance between work and life.

2. Lot of opportunities for career advancement. You are the driver for your career with a lot of support from your direct manager and above.

3. Respect. Your ideas, point of view, and contribution are respected.

4. Access to upper management. Directors, VPs, and others at that level have open-door policies.

1. A bit of the "old boys network" where "dubious" decisions are not questioned. When that decision backfires, it is the lower-ranking employee that ends up losing their job due to "restructuring".

Acknowledge mistakes before they go too far and take appropriate action. Listen more often and more closely to those affected by the "mistake"; this gives you the opportunity to nip it in the bud.
