Pros

I found 90% of the people at Intuit to be generally kind and friendly. The benefits are good. The San Diego office was very nice and had good amenities. A big variety of teams, some more functional than others.

Cons

My organization was in a constant cycle of trying to update the tech stack. Then, other priorities arose that the VPs wanted more. Because of the outdated software, our on-call became pretty hellish.

Plus, it was a full 24/7 week every month with the expectation of a sub-5-minute response time. Our managers all had way too many reports (15-30) at a time. They were treated pretty terribly and were working at all hours.

I would consider returning to Intuit, but I would never be a manager at Intuit. The promo process is pretty over the top and really weighed heavily toward your personal brand beyond your team, which I don't necessarily think makes an engineer a good engineer.

Advice to Management

You have to adapt your WFH policy. It's not the primary reason I left, but people are unhappy, and there are plenty of WFH jobs that would be happy to hire them, often with better pay.
