Pros

Nice, convenient facility in San Diego North County. I like the gym. The cafeteria food is pretty good. Mac or PC laptops are given for use, making it easy to take to meetings.

Cons

I'd have to agree with another poster -- a lot of obvious favoritism and politics!

Don't complain to your manager though, or you will be looked down upon. Just smile... act happy even if you are not! If you get on the wrong side of management, there is no turning back.

I too have heard engineers 'bragging' about working nights and weekends. I don't really see that as a completely dedicated worker. Often times, that engineer is not organized and can't get work done in a 40-hour work week. Often, an engineer who works this much has no family, no spouse, no interests, and thus works the nights and weekends just to stay busy.

Intuit wants you to be innovative with Innovation Days, but the guidelines can be strict and narrow -- not exactly what one hopes for when you hear "innovation."

Intuit's number of product offerings hasn't changed much in years.

The company is not as great as people think it is. There are many other great companies in San Diego to work for.

Advice to Management

Listen to the engineers and what they have to say. You will learn a lot! The managers only give you the answers that you want.
