Intuit

Good work/life balance. Competitive pay if you know how to bargain. Experience at Intuit depends on your team, but I have found most of the employees and managers to be a pleasure to work with. Great facility in San Diego.

It is a big company, so it has similar issues that all other companies do, like:

• Slow to adopt growth.
• Cannot focus on innovative ideas due to the requirement to maintain current business.
• Not as 'challenging' working environment as smaller/leaner companies.

Allocate dedicated and smart employees (do-ers) to new initiatives.

Create small, agile, and high-intensity teams for these new initiatives.

Less planning, more doing.

Increase the skill level of employees by having harder interviews and higher requirements for current and new employees.
