Pros

In addition, Intuit is filled with great people who are fun to work with and great to learn from. Working here provides great satisfaction because we solve real problems that people have. There's no need to push our products, because they make everyday tasks easier.

Intuit also provides great facilities and perks, including a beautiful campus (multiple locations), opportunities for fun (pool tables, Wii, ship trips), and top-of-the-line computers and other tools.

Finally, Intuit cares about career development and provides opportunities to grow your career without leaving the company.

Cons

Chronically understaffed in certain areas, commonly asked to squeeze blood from a stone.

The workload for mid-level leaders (like architects and engineering managers) can be very high.

Some acquisitions still act like standalone companies without direct senior management intervention to force them to conform to Intuit standards and practices.

Advice to Management

Great job! Keep up the critical thinking and planning. However, make sure that critical functional tasks and projects are properly staffed, as they will ultimately dictate the success or failure of business functions.
