Pros

Intuit is overall a great company. The pay/benefits are very good, though still below the top software companies, but the hiring bar is also significantly lower than at Google, Facebook, etc. MTV and San Diego offices have very competent teams, successful products, and manage to find ways to innovate even in a such regulated industry as tax/small business accounting. Most employees have high integrity, truly believe in company's values and respect their coworkers.

Cons

All pros described above are nonexistent in the Plano office due to incompetent middle management. Every time you think they've already hit the absolute low, they prove you wrong. In the past couple of years, all middle management has been hired based on their nationality and not professional expertise. This leads to a chain reaction, as the same hiring practices propagate to the lower levels as well. Plano does not hire any full time engineers directly anymore. Instead, contractors from a shady recruiting companies are hired, and if they prove themselves at the social gatherings outside of work and happy hour sessions with the management, they are retained/promoted. Coincidentally, there is no diversity among the new hires and I wonder how this does not trigger a red flag with HR. Plano middle management survives by bullying its employees to provide positive reviews on the employee survey. Managers use their 1-1 meetings to go over the individual comments in the survey trying to figure out who said what and if an employee has a concern they are encouraged to leave Intuit. Some managers push their employees to work overtime, while they themselves abuse the vacation/work from home policies to the greatest possible extent, taking multiple weeks off a few times during the same year or "working" from other countries while being offline the entire time. Credit is taken from people who work hard without a second thought. Managers take credit for the work which was done even before they joined Intuit. If somebody raises a concern, they are involuntarily pushed to other teams or forced to leave the company due to frustration. All of the above negates the positive things in Plano which still has a number of very competent people who are unfortunately individual contributors without much say.

Pros

Benefits are amazing, medical insurance, vision and dental. Company match on 401K and volunteer time off.

Cons

They keep making decisions to outsource jobs to contract workers who don't share the same value in training or customer care. Oh they say they do but when you catch the listening to music so loud you can't hear the customer, or literally snoring on the line they can't do anything because of the way the contracts are set up. It is up to the contract company and the contract company just needs warm bodies. They did not even supply enough people doing our busiest season this year to co or the shifts that were required in the contract. So good luck with that. They will always eventually lay you off.
