Pros

Work-life balance. Intuit really encourages us to work within business hours. My manager is doing a good job at it.

Good direct manager. I was in a group that had so many changes and politics. After the re-org, my current manager is good, and I am happy with the management once again.

Competitive salary. I compared the salary in the market, and Intuit offers a very competitive salary for my position.

Stability. Intuit is big, and the project usually has a long lifespan, so the job is somewhat stable.

Location. Mountain View is a good location.

Telecommute/working from home is allowed within certain guidelines.

Cons

The company is too big, with too much politics.

It's hard to innovate with the product offerings they have, as it's restricted by business requirements.

There's too much paperwork.

I'm not sure if there is a proper career growth plan for me.

Advice to Management
  • Too much politics.
  • Too many changes and re-organizations.
