As a company you can be proud to be voted as One of the best places to work for back to back years.

Pros

Benefits package is the best I've seen
Flexible hours and workplace
Decent work-life balance

Cons

Management by slogan
Middle managers often don't know what it actually going on in their groups
Promotion is by politics and not work output
Business units are siloed and even within a BU people don't work together towards a common goal

Advice to Senior Management

Talk to your employees and figure out what is really going on in your departments.

Pros

Senior Leadership has solid experience.
Benefits are above average especially health benefits.
Products are top notch. Most customers love them and have high retention.

Cons

Company prefers to bring external leadership rather promoting with in.
Politics and red tape is still a problem.
Culture has changed b/c of several acquisitions.

Advice to Senior Management

Focus more on organic innovation versus acquisitions.

Pros

Salary is amazing, decent cafeteria, free parking, updated software, ergonomic desks,

Cons

Managers aren't taking accountability. Managers promote their favorites not those qualified. Change in direction of company is a very popular way to terminate employees. There are no avenues for promotion unless you brown nose the boss. No funding for personal education. Work life balance...you are kidding right? I had 80 hour weeks for 2 months straight!

Pros

Great benefits, good focus on customer, lots of bright people, good internal opportunities to learn new things but lot of times you can only make use of them if you're lucky to be with the right manager, some groups have very good environment.

Cons

Too much politics in some places, a lot depends on what group/organizations you're in, very little room for growth. Vague performance evaluations. There are people who have been around for years who have entrenched themselves in their turf (low and middle management) and feel entitled to play games. Intuit has acquired a lot of companies over the years and they have almost always failed at integrating the acquisitions.

Advice to Senior Management

Nurture and encourage talent. The company tries to think of itself as innovative clone of the likes of Google, Facebook etc but its all a pipe dream unless you aspire towards a flat hierarchical structure and give a free rein to creative people.

Pros

employee friendly in general and great brains in Business Units but IT is not a place to be proud to work for.

Cons

No growth opportunity. All the senior open positions are given to friends of senior management and often inexperience and incompetent people are hired for open positions. Hence its hard to grow in Intuit IT.

Advice to Senior Management

Pls talk to engineers and middle management. Get a true picture of what is really going on. Don't believe in everything you hear from directors and stop wasting company's money and resources on people not qualified to be on the job.

Pros

Management seeks feedback to determine direction. Frequent all hands meetings to keep us informed and motivated

Cons

Security Management fears owning outcome; very indecisive, despite DACI and shared vision. Too eager to re-direct ownership issues.

Advice to Senior Management

Own the outcome
