Pros

Intuit has a good compensation package and a very good work/life balance. Most co-workers are talented.

Cons

Too many layers of management.

Not-so-good acquisitions (reverse integration causes major pain and absolutely no results in terms of speed or revenue).

Advice to Management

Keep the customer focus; get rid of this B.S. of "reverse integration" when acquiring companies. Understand that acquired small companies are NOT necessarily better than internal people.
