Pros

The company strives to be the world's most admired company, the best place to work, and a trusted partner for customers and the community.

It is refreshing to have the priorities clear (employees first, customers second, shareholders third) and to have management that is not afraid to adjust and change strategies as the business climate changes and new opportunities arise.

Every employee has the chance to have their idea and creativity impact the business.

For a technologist more interested in identifying and solving customers' unmet needs than chasing the competition's feature list, Intuit is a great place to work!

Cons

Moving fast can mean not allowing a new idea to bake, or short-changing thoughtful consideration of side-effects of changes, or customer impact. It can also mean having a poorly-executed move by one business division creating bad PR that impacts other businesses and lasts for years. The company's flagship products are so well-known and pervasive that missteps like this year's attempts by Turbotax to change the fundamental pricing model ripple throughout the other businesses. Break-neck efforts are often expected but seldom recognized or rewarded.

Advice to Management

Slow down the reorgs; they really do impede our ability to move fast.
