Pros

Good benefits, allow us to WFH as much as we want. Work-life balance is pretty good.

Cons

Intuit is not a tech company. They try really hard to seem like they are a tech company, but every engineer that works here will tell you it's not one.

Promotions are way too political; they don't care about top engineering skills. There are quite a few core problems with internal infrastructure. It was created by engineers decades back, and now those engineers are at the top of the engineering ladder. All they care about is protecting what they created decades ago, even though it's actively hurting the company now.

Advice to Management

Honestly, you could easily get rid of half of directors and above, and the company would be better off. They get paid way too much money for doing nothing but stifling engineering progress.
