Pros

I found 90% of the people at Intuit to be generally kind and friendly. The benefits are good. The San Diego office was very nice and had good amenities. A big variety of teams, some more functional than others.

Cons

My organization was in a constant cycle of trying to update the tech stack, then other priorities arose that the VPs wanted more. Because of the outdated software, our on-call became pretty hellish. Plus, it was a full 24/7 week every month with the expectation of a sub 5 minute response time. Our managers all had way too many reports (15-30) at a time. They were treated pretty terribly and were working at all hours. I would consider returning to Intuit, but I would never be a manager at Intuit. Promo process is pretty over the top and really weighed heavily toward your personal brand beyond your team, which I don't necessarily think makes an engineer a good engineer.

Great engineering culture, supportive team, strong mentorship, and meaningful intern projects with real product impact.

Large company processes can sometimes make onboarding and finding the right information slower at first.

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.
