Intuit Reviews in Dallas-Fort Worth, TX Area

Pros

Great people and competitive pay. They load you up on benefits.

Cons

Frequent turnover of upper level management. Management is under a lot of pressure and they push there people hard

Advice to Senior Management

Chill out. Also - don't start every sentence or answer every question with "So...." (Intuit has their own company speak)

Pros

The pay at Intuit is very competitive and the benefits are the best. The company often provides meals when you are asked to work long hours (which is frequent). They have very good education programs and you will learn a great deal working at Intuit. It is an ideal job for someone just entering the job market. Most of the people working there are fantastic and fun to be around. You'll probably create friendships for your life.

Cons

The management at Intuit expects impossible deadlines, and usually will not resource a project to its needs. They expect everyone to work extra hours and 15-hour days are not uncommon. Many projects are started, and then canceled. This is called "swing-and-miss" and is part of the culture, so get used to it. There is a unique language specific to the company that everyone must learn.

Advice to Senior Management

Do a better job of rewarding employees even when a project is canceled. Work harder at keeping jobs in the US because this is where the revenue is for the company. Taking revenue from US and moving jobs offshore is not a good match. Your global strategy should be to build global products rather than hire cheaper labor.

Pros

Intuit has a lot of growth opportunities.

Cons

The company has gone through several downsizing events in the last few years

Advice to Senior Management

Get your change management strategy in place.

Pros

Good work life balance, competitive benefits, intelligent employees, short commute, opportunities for paid community service, on-site cafeteria, team-building events, challenging work

Cons

Senior leadership is sometimes too vague about their goals, tend to layoff when times get tough, advancement opportunities limited depending on your role, stock grants are small for the 'little' people

Advice to Senior Management

Look to your employees more for better insight to products/ideas; Intuit has many bright people that are creative and have a lot to offer senior management

Pros

I am extremely proud of the products and services at Intuit. We produce the best business management and tax practice tools period. Only concern is the price increases over the past few years have come at a price. Our pro tax clients are frustrated.

Cons

You have to move into a non-sales role to "advance".

Advice to Senior Management

Let your sales leaders lead your sales people instead of your corporate politics experts.

Pros

Benefits, especially vision are unbeatable

Cons

Slow to adopt users, if you want to innovate, the accounting space is not where it's going to happen quickly.

Too many meetings.

Run by product managers who aren't top notch.

Advice to Senior Management

none

Pros

Nice offices, lots of emphasis on frontline workers, with good rewards systems for managers to reward employees with little to no approval required. Great 401K matching. Every employees knows the company strategy and how their job applies

Cons

Lots of people have been promoted beyond their abilities. It seems people are more concerned with how you say something than with what you say. Their pay for performance systems causes a lot of backstabbing, with people literaly trying to knock people off the high rating so there group members will stay, since there is an unofficial limit on the number of people who can be in the top rating. The people who have stayed the longest have figured out how to play the political game and work hard to make sure others aren't accepted into the cult. The Intuit vocabulary can be tough for newcomers to figure out.

Advice to Senior Management

It's time for a complete overhaul on the focal review process. It causes more problems than you realize. You lose a lot of good people because of a single bad manager because HR is slow to do something about it. The downward trend in the "great place to work" ratings should tell you that all is not right with the culture.

Pros

Salary, bonuses, insurance benefits and options

Cons

Work you to death and don't care about the idea of you having family time.

Advice to Senior Management

Stop killing your people or continue to expect attrition

Pros
