Pros

Benefits and package are great. Ideal place if you are not serious about work and career and if manipulation is your primary instinct. If you are good at marketing 10% of work 90% of the time, this is the bestest company you could work for.

Cons

The middle management layer is filled with incompetent Asian Indian men in the technology group who are experts at politics and manipulation. If you are serious about your work, you will be an outcast and will be driven to exit. Intuit is about innovation theatrics vs. actual innovation. Re-orgs will happen every few weeks in the name of business decisions because leaders are clueless. The CTO wants to create kick-ass engineers for the past 3 years. I hope she gets to see the down detector for QuickBooks & Payroll products and pays some attention to the comments left by customers. She believes that an engineer will be able to wear all the hats comfortably forgetting that experts in multiple areas are needed to ship and maintain flagship products. She believes SRE, testing and DB engineering, operations are irrelevant. I challenge her to bring Intuit to a point where Intuit products are available 24/7 for a minimum of 30 days without any downtime. Good luck to her theatrics. If you are an Asian Indian woman, you will be abused if you are smart and technical because the majority of the incompetent men can handle strong woman. The leaders who need to protect the employees are part of the problem and they care a damn. Please don’t get believe the best company to work tag for women. It may be true for women who are not in the technology or product teams. It a woman can suck up to the men in all layers of the management, then she will be spared — this is very true for Asian Indian woman. Age based bias is highly prevalent and they will fire people as part of mass layoffs without any reason to ensure older employees are gone. Intuit is a great place to work .... ONCE UPON A TIME!

Pros

Benefits are amazing, medical insurance, vision and dental. Company match on 401K and volunteer time off.

Cons

They keep making decisions to outsource jobs to contract workers who don't share the same value in training or customer care. Oh they say they do but when you catch the listening to music so loud you can't hear the customer, or literally snoring on the line they can't do anything because of the way the contracts are set up. It is up to the contract company and the contract company just needs warm bodies. They did not even supply enough people doing our busiest season this year to co or the shifts that were required in the contract. So good luck with that. They will always eventually lay you off.
