Intuit – “Intuit Is Heading in the Wrong Direction”

Pros

Good benefits, good products, healthy profits, good work / life balance

Cons

Since Steve left and the economic downturn Intuit has not been the same. In the small business division a number of really good people were forced out and now all we hear from top management is that cuts were necessary and more could come at any time. Business is not growing like it has in the past but that doesn't mean you shouldn't try to inspire your team instead of letting them know that they are employed at will. At least when Steve was running things he gave you the sense that he cared about the people doing the work and not catering to the cabal that runs the place now.

Advice to Senior Management

Don't lose what has made Intuit special. Employees, then customers, then shareholders. Stop making stupid acquisitions.
