Pros

Consistently voted as one of Forbes magazine's Top 100 Places to Work Good compensation, great benefits Great work environment (in most business units) Smart, passionate people

Cons

Your experience at Intuit is heavily dependent on the group and/or manager you work for. Constant lay-offs and re-orgs make it difficult for you to have control what group you're in or who you report to. Intuit consistently lays people off every year and the layoffs are not done by performance, so if you're one of the top performers you could be laid off and if you're one of the worst performers you could stay. After the layoffs, the numbers of workers are cut dramatically but the work load remains the same, so everyone left is tasked with taking on the extra work.

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.
