Pros

Intuit focuses heavily on two things which made me happy when I worked for them: Work-life balance and community service. Intuit doesn't offer dinner on campus, which is probably a cost-saving measure, but also strongly encourages employees to go home at a reasonable hour every day. They're also very flexible about the actual hours you work, and let you take work home, but rarely require you to -- the managers I worked with were all good at making sure people didn't take workloads too big for them to handle. Intuit also focuses on community service. That's been a big passion of mine for a while, and they'll actually pay you your full-time hourly salary while you're volunteering, even if it's for causes completely unrelated to Intuit (up to 32 hours, at least). They also offer full-time employees additional benefits, like letting them pick a nonprofit to get QuickBooks for free, which I know much less about.

Cons

The only annoyance I had was that onboarding was difficult. My team was always happy to answer questions, unless they were busy with a higher-priority issue, but there was very little documentation to help me fix the issues I encountered, so I ended up asking my team more than I wanted to. Also, I was hired as a co-op, which meant that I had to go back to college after only six months. Intuit's a good workplace. I'd have loved to keep on.

Pros

Office Perks: Free gluten-free lunch on Wednesdays, along with free snacks and coffee.

Cons

Zero Real Training: They do not properly train you for the actual job. The training is completely rushed and horrible, leaving you highly unprepared for the actual workflows. Complete Isolation from Management: You are entirely on your own. You will almost never actually meet with your team lead or management for constructive guidance. The "Hunger Games" Culture: The entire operation is completely unorganized and highly unprofessional. You are constantly reminded that you are easily replaceable, creating a toxic, high-stress atmosphere where everyone is walking on eggshells. Absurd Case Metrics & Restricted Breaks: The job is run like a jail. They actively discourage you from taking your legally allowed breaks and expect you to process complex cases back-to-back with zero breathing room. Unethical Directives on Fraud: Shockingly, there are instances where you are actively encouraged to keep fraudulent accounts open rather than properly securing them, which goes against basic compliance integrity. Forced Scheduling & Lack of Agency Support: Management will force you into late schedules with no flexibility. The Blindside Firing: There is zero job security here. If they decide they are done with you, they will simply call your staffing agency behind your back and fire you with absolutely no explanation, leaving you completely blindsided and locked out of your systems without warning.
