Pros
Great company Takes care of employees Pays more than average, demands more than average Stable business Two main businesses -- small business (quick books) and tax (turbotax) Environmentally and socially conscious
Cons
In spite of many efforts, could not grow new business initiatives Spent millions trying to grow new ideas, but nothing to show for Acquired many companies and subsequently sold them off as none of them panned out -- with nothing to show for the time, money and effort spent Has desperate need to show growth to prop the stock price -- however none of the new initiatives or acquisitions yielded anything in the past 10 years -- so the existing customers (by price hikes) and employees (with reduced benefit and longer hours) are squeezed Work-Life balance non-existent in tax business unit, whether it is tax time or not Once in-while "working all through night" to prove ones chops, is mandatory No matter how much notice one gives, taking a long vacation (2-3 weeks) will get him/her in hot water
