Pros

Great benefits. Compensation is pretty good. Flexible hours.

Cons

Intuit is a very politically driven company. Tax DIY is a dying business since many competitors are offering DIY tax prep software for free. Though Intuit tries hard to be a software company, it is not entirely a software company. There are more people in the functional space than in the engineering department. The quality of engineers is pretty bad because good engineers usually cannot survive the politics here. The company hires a lot of contractors, so that causes a lot of churn.

Pros

Pays well, nice work notebooks, don't check office attendance until they need someone to fire

Cons

My whole team and management up to VP level are on visa or offshore. They're not interested in including other cultures. No direction except looking good for immediate manager. Lots of favouritism too. Expectation to accommodate offshore times. Tech is a legacy hodgepodge of unnecessary implementations that only we're made for the resume of the developer. People let go randomly, so no use to work hard or smart, only thing that matters is if the right manager likes you.
