This is a really great IT company, and it's trying to maintain the culture of an Information Technology company

Pros

Published great culture values, great benefits (401K, stocks, bonus, fitness $650, great infrastructure).

Employee social network groups.

Cons

Too much politics. So many values are published as part of Intuit culture, like Innovation, Be Bold, Career Plans, or Internal Mobility. All these things are driven by your manager and directors of your group. Even though it's published as Intuit culture, it's actually not supported by many managers and directors at Intuit. They like you to drive employees as per their own ways and try to play politics around it.

Advice to Management

Please take a global and 360-degree survey for all employees for review and career path planning. Currently, this is not mandatory for all groups at Intuit. This system is breaking the rules of diversity and honesty. All employees should be treated equally, and all employees' manager, director, and VP reviews need to be provided to the HR team as 360 degrees from their group and officially submitted to the HR team. Currently, this is not happening for so many groups, and managers are driving their groups in their own ways and playing politics around it. Intuit needs to think hard about the employees who have been working more than 10 years at the same company. They like to save their jobs and are taking all technology decisions to favor themselves, especially managers, directors, and above. Intuit really needs to think hard for employees who have been working more than 10 years and take their reviews periodically and watch about the political actions taken by those employees in the company. If the company does not think hard for these kinds of employees, at some point, the company will go in the wrong direction, and Intuit will pay a lot for it. I enjoyed working at Intuit; the only reason I left the company was because of politics, and my manager didn't allow me for career mobility at Intuit and also tried to spoil my review at one time by partnering with other managers under the same umbrella. Company values are great but not followed by all groups, especially Texas, San Diego, and small locations where there is still a requirement to adopt Intuit core values completely and transparency.
