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.

Pros

I really enjoyed working with Intuit because it was a fast paced environment that pushed me to grow professionally. I appreciated the strong focus on customer experience, the support from leadership, and the opportunity I had to advance into a Tier 2 role within the same season. It strengthened my communication, problem solving, and multitasking skills while allowing me to help customers during stressful situation

Cons

One challenge for me was feeling somewhat disconnected from upper management and operations leadership at times. Most of my direct support and communication came from my team leads, who were very hands on and helpful. I tend to work best in environments where there is strong visibility and engagement from leadership across all levels.
