Intuit

Great environments, good pay, flexibility, and lots of facilities to use. Free games, massage, fitness training, and free food and drink many days. A great place to work.

Good amount of politics. Managers don't show up every day. When they show up, everything changes for the priority. More reliance on CRA changes and forms, so they are more waterfall than agile. Bring many contractors to work for. They have their legacy (GPSC & Delphi) systems which are hard to replace and many good skills are just occupied in text file changes and small calculation changes. Waste of your talent. Higher management is busy all the time in useless meetings which do not bring output. They pretend to work for the US team, but there is no actual progress. Hiring process is tricky; they don't do what they say in the interview. Just give you a false picture. If you ask many questions, then they won't renew the contract. The profile team is not a good place for experienced developers to work for.

Use your resources where they are most efficient. Find the real telnet and recognize it, then use it. Change your attitude to keep newcomers in the areas where they are not good at it.
