Current Employee – been working at Intuit as a contractor for less than a year

Pros – nice environment, nice equipment, nice office

Cons – finish all the tasks very nicely and then let go

Advice to Senior Management – please care your worker more

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 3 years

Pros – All the overtime you can handle with no compensation or flextime

Cons – The top 100 places to work acheivement is purely manufactured. The HR at this company is brilliant at developing a wonderful intetnal culture that only exists in propaganda.
This compant treats it people like crap. Unless you are part of the boys club at this company you are nothing. Most people who work here can only stay about 2 years. After that they are creatively let go after they show signs of burn out. If you are considering a job at Intuit walk the other way.

Advice to Senior Management – Give up. You just dont know how to do it. Poorly run poorly represented. Stop being so cheap and stop trying to run everything on hope, prayer and a shoe string.

Former Employee – worked at Intuit full-time

Pros – Good pay, good choice of hours when you first apply...

Cons – All minutes are accounted for (even bathroom breaks) and it's frowned upon to do anything but be glued to your phone for the entire 8+ hours including necessary breaks. Management is way over their heads and only there for themselves. No training for the true job you'll be performing.

Advice to Senior Management – Get a clue!

Current Employee – been working at Intuit full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – nice coworkers. pays well if you only care about salary not stock.

Cons – Managers come from the Proctor and Gamble/General Electric mold and are allergic to an innovative software culture. They brand themselves as innovative and agile but its totally a "yes man" shop with endless meetings. They even scold engineers about their "personal brand" should they be bold enough to express an opinion. Ever been to a 40 person hour long "scrum"? Enough said.

Advice to Senior Management – get more technical. selling dated software isn't going to work as well as selling dated laundry detergent brands.

Current Employee – been working at Intuit full-time for more than a year

Pros – Great pay and benefits, lots of perks.

Cons – Canadian leadership ignores serious morale problems and inappropriate behaviour. People are abused by managers and the CEO does nothing, instructing subordinates to fix their manager's problems themselves. With respect to people management, the Canadian CEO ignores problems and hopes they go away, while touting the Best Place to Work survey (which employees were coerced into filling out... or else...).

Advice to Senior Management – Get some executive coaching because you don't know what you don't know!

Advice to Senior Management – This could be a nice place to work with a few changes, most of which wouldn't cost anything (and some of which would probably save money while improving service). Listen to the people on the front lines, we have direct contact with the customers. Don't ask me to do something you aren't willing to do yourself. Live up to the values you proclaim. Quit sending jobs overseas, the customers don't like it, they find ways around it, and you aren't saving as much as you think.

Current Employee – been working at Intuit full-time for more than a year

Pros – Campus is good.
Fruits and food is free.
Work life balance is okay.
Encourage sports and other activities like charity.
Cab facility.

Cons – Promotions and hikes are given based on politics and closeness to the manager .
Upper management and HR ignore this partiality.
Work has no innovation as they say pure maintenance projects.They claim they are in bangalore for talent and not for cost cutting.
If you speak out management will target you in your performance review.
Hikes are very less and no stocks or other benefits .It seems they were giving a lot of benefits some years ago to get a good brand.
They keep closing teams without any long term plans. No growth if you stay .I know many people who moved from one team to the other aimlessly.

Advice to Senior Management – Take action on political bosses. If you pay peanuts you will only get monkeys.

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

Pros – A paycheck... that's honestly all I can think of. Everyone tries to put on a happy face but several people are searching for new jobs and are very unhappy.

Cons – Intuit abuses temporary employees and tries to entice them with full-time employment which they only intend to give to a few people. They are shipping support jobs overseas and do not value employees regardless of how much time and effort they put into the job. They foster a culture of gossip and a borderline hostile working environment. As stated above, the only positive aspect at this job is the paycheck.

Advice to Senior Management – Watch who you are putting in charge and letting go. I saw some very hardworking co-workers and managers get let go. Also, stop shipping support jobs to countries where English is not the native language, your customers can tell and will only put up with it so long.

Current Employee – been working at Intuit full-time for more than 7 years

Pros – Package is good overall
Great CEO and founder

Cons – They preach about taking care of employees and living by core values. But do the opposite. They compromise on integrity when it is not convenient for them. They completely screwed the team in one of the recent spin offs. The upper management cut a deal in which they took care of themselves and left the lower rung with zero options. Very disappointing experience.
Group management is extremely incompetent. Lot of politics.

Advice to Senior Management – Identify key talent and make sure you nurture it and don't hire incompetent leaders in the upper management.

Current Employee – been working at Intuit full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – * Compensation was decent
* Flex-time (though you'll pay for it nights & weekends)

Cons – Where do I start? To begin with, management is not what you would consider "top calibre" -- I wonder if some of them even have degrees. Regardless, the company makes most of its money from 2 or 3 cash-cow products and they jealously guard these sacred cows. Understandable. The problem is that the company really falls on its face encouraging and stimulating innovation. In fact, the company secretly sabotages efforts at innovation from within.

Furthermore, all that stifled creative energy gets turned inward into a really nasty political environment. It's one of those companies where every year 5 or 10% of its staff have to be jettisoned. And if you don't know who this year's sacrificial lamb is -- then its YOU.

Advice to Senior Management – Hire better managers. In fact, every manager should be required to re-interview for their job and should be screened by a panel of outside advisors b/c the bar is way too low and its a little too "incestuous" around here.
