Intuit

Get to work with some really bright engineers that are open to new challenges and ideas.

Very good compensation and bonuses, especially in certain locations.

Managers are often very technical, so they are able to empathize and often assist with technical challenges.

Pretty good work-life balance for the most part. Lots of opportunity to learn new skills, take courses, and take on new responsibilities – but it is up to the individual to seek the opportunities.

Dedicated white space time, meeting-free times, and the choice to work from home (depends on manager).

Lots of opportunity to provide feedback and also receive feedback, both formally (AES, monthly check-ins) and informally (1:1s).

It really is a unique culture where people do care and support one another and are passionate about doing great work.

Sometimes the ‘bar’ is not set high enough, likely due to the culture and not challenging colleagues.

During certain key times of the year, there can be very long hours.

Intuit is a global company, so meeting times can be very late or very early with some teams.

There is an expectation to become involved in corporate activities.

Promotions sometimes seem arbitrary.

While the culture seems fairly ubiquitous, risk-taking and rewards for creative solutions vary by team.
