Mountain View, CA

Current Employee – been working at Intuit full-time

ProsInspiring CEO and Founder
Mission-driven culture that people genuinely believe in
Generally stable and good benefits

ConsLimited career path - many "senior" managers with little opportunity to move up. The company encourages moving laterally for growth.
Few true "product leaders" - historically has focused more on grooming general managers who are good leaders but don't know what it takes to deliver innovative products
You need to have the "right" style / personality to do well here

Advice to Senior ManagementFocus on real results to weed out people who are just saying what senior mgmt wants to hear vs. truly solving for a great customer experience

Former Employee – worked at Intuit

ProsGood benefits, pay is decent, and most employees are intelligent and competent.

ConsUpper management is weak and out of touch; dismissal process fatally flawed and biased. Employees accused of fireable offenses are not given any way to defend themselves; dismissal based on flawed evidence and conjecture is allowed. Subsequent letters to the president of the company will get you extra money to cover up their failings, but will not clear your name nor get your job back.

Advice to Senior ManagementTake a good look at the people you allow to "investigate" employee issues. They are encouraging the dismissal of employees based on zero evidence and personal bias.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Current Employee – been working at Intuit full-time for more than 10 years

ProsBenefits, work/life balance, compensation, customers, products

ConsLack of consistency in executing the operating values across sites.

Advice to Senior ManagementWhen one of your core values is "its the people" you should be sure that you are hiring leaders that can foster that value.

Mountain View, CA

Former Employee – worked at Intuit full-time for more than 7 years

Pros-competitive compensation package
-excellent internal leadership training programs
-Great front line employees
-Good rewards program
-Collaborative teams
-Stable company with a fantastic balance sheet

Cons-To advance, you must "manage up"
-complete lack of organizational transparencies
-unbalanced performance review processes
-no organizational stability - reorgs multiple times per year
-culture varies greatly between business units and locations
-morale varies greatly between business units and locations

Advice to Senior Managementtake a hard look at your Directors and VP's for those with a low say/do ratio and discipline accordingly. Especially in PD. Seek active feedback from their managers and frontline employees. Provide more transparency across the board. Live the values - don't just pay them lip service. Try to standardize on work experience, work/life balance, and morale across all BU's.

ConsThe work was not as exciting as I had anticipated

Advice to Senior ManagementDifferent teams need to have a healthy relationship among themselves...It looks like that but is not the case.

Former Employee – worked at Intuit full-time for more than a year

ProsGood benefits
Good work life balance

ConsHorrible support for immigrants, even if they have a Masters degree.
Green cards for immigrants are filed in EB3 which is a joke since it takes 12-15 years to get a Green card that way. Every other company in US files for GC using EB2, which is a faster process.
Lots of good engineers are leaving the company because of this

Somebody here said "Culture often rewards good talkers more than doers". Totally agree.
If you are good at talking, you will prosper, whether you can work or not.

Advice to Senior ManagementChange the Green card policy. Qualified engineers, who are immigrants do not want to join the company.

Focus on people who get the work done rather than who show fancy presentations.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
