Pros

You get plenty of free food, a decent salary, and stocks if that’s what you want.

Cons
  1. Extremely toxic culture. No respect for a technologist.

  2. Lack of good work makes everyone compete for a bigger chunk, which creates a rat race. In that exercise, the value of work diminishes.

  3. Mutual trust within the team is virtually non-existent.

  4. Sharing of information is rare.

  5. Intuit laid off almost 7.3% of its global workforce in the wake of the COVID-19 spike. As per Reuters, the company described this as a regular activity to align with its objective of becoming an AI-driven company. I agree the company has every right to do that. But during an ongoing pandemic, when nothing like this has ever been seen, when people globally are suffering, when many CEOs globally have let go of their salaries to keep their headcount intact, and especially when Intuit boasts so much about employee care, it reminds me of the quote from William Shakespeare: "All that glitters is not gold!"
