Pros

Stable company; only death and taxes are certain in life, right? If you have a family and need an 8-5 stable job, then Intuit is perfect for you.

Cons

Not that good for ambitious or star engineers. Achieving above and beyond won't get you recognized or compensated accordingly; everyone pretty much gets the same raises/bonus.

There's a big variance in the quality of the engineers (there are some very good engineers, but also some very bad ones).

There's a lack of career growth for engineers.

Management seems to be always following the crowd in terms of direction/technological disruptions; there's a lack of vision; and quite a lot of waste.

Advice to Management

The company has been run by marketing/sales people (which partly explains the lack of vision in technology). Start listening to your technical people more.

Reduce process and foster start-up-type innovation.
