Pros

Intuit is a good place for people who are seeking work life balance and doing just enough to get by. The total benefit package is competitive and salary is on par with the industry. A great place for a product manager. Strong market position with Mint, Quicken, Turbotax and QuickBooks.

Cons

Okay, let's be honest with ourselves here. If you are an engineer who is aggressive, wants to learn and grow to be a leader. THIS IS NOT A PLACE FOR YOU. Engineers do not have a lot of influence in this company and the process of getting a product approved for development is very slow. The people are generally nice but are not excited to create revolutionary products. If you are a new college grad and looking to be promoted to be a senior engineer, that's pretty easy in this company. However, anything further than that is based on political game. Advise for college grads is to spend two years at Intuit, get the promotion and get the heck out. Engineers with a lot of ideas are usually cast aside in this company. Some lucky ones get to work in a few innovative groups scattered throughout the company. However, if you are really looking to change the world and make a difference, you should go to a startup. The recruiters will probably see you about growing to be a leader but as someone who has been there and done that, you are better of learning by doing in some other places. The leaders don't seem to understand technology driven innovation and is usually very slow in responding to market changes.

Pros

I really enjoyed working with Intuit because it was a fast paced environment that pushed me to grow professionally. I appreciated the strong focus on customer experience, the support from leadership, and the opportunity I had to advance into a Tier 2 role within the same season. It strengthened my communication, problem solving, and multitasking skills while allowing me to help customers during stressful situation

Cons

One challenge for me was feeling somewhat disconnected from upper management and operations leadership at times. Most of my direct support and communication came from my team leads, who were very hands on and helpful. I tend to work best in environments where there is strong visibility and engagement from leadership across all levels.
