Pros

Good pay, benefits, and good work-life balance.

Cons

Do not be fooled. Intuit Plano is nowhere near being as nice as the rest of Intuit. On the surface, it looks similar, but truthfully, most of it is a facade. Most of management has no clue what their people are doing and do not respect them. They are more worried about sucking up to their own management and making themselves look good versus truly respecting the people underneath them. They have been stumbling in the dark for the four years that I have been here. A lot of people have had 3+ managers in two years. Instead of moving work to well-honed teams, they create different teams every few months, causing constant churn. True product management and requirements gathering are almost nil. The development teams have to put on the hats and do most of it in the name of Scrum (scrumbug). If you feel appreciation through your pay, then maybe this is the place for you. If you care to really grow, be respected for what you do, instead of being treated as easily replaceable, this is the place for you. Sort of like working for a mom-and-pop place masquerading as a well-honed enterprise-level company like the rest of Intuit.

Advice to Management

Too many cultural cliques in management, good ole boy operations. Managers do not know how to grow their people or keep track of who really does what. Fix this.

If you have managers constantly reforming teams just as soon as they finally get used to each other, what does that tell you? Do you really think that is the right approach?
