Intuit is a place where ones experience can be uber-fulfilling or severely troubling, depending on the individual's group experience. There isn't a lot of consistency between groups with their approach to management. I had co-workers who had a completely different experience (positive) than did I simply because they worked on a different product.
There also exists a strong point of view on how business should be conducted, how interpersonal relationships should be built and how all information should be shared. That's not necessarily a bad thing for a company.
However, at Intuit, that means strategy happens mainly within the confines of a PowerPoint presentation and within the confines of a very specific format (literally, if you don't present things in PowerPoint and format them in "the Intuit way" people look at you with blank faces as if they're incapable of interpreting the meaning of the content that's being presented -- it's the strangest thing!)
Group dynamics tend to be very rigid and if one strays too far from the accepted communication or culture norms, they can be very easily undermined and/or disregarded. It's VERY much a style over substance environment.
In short, it is a great work environment for some people (in my experience those who have the easiest time are people who are easily moldable, younger employees or people with too much on the line to dare operate outside the status quo.) For others, it's a VERY tough environment. Generally it seems like an especially tough place for new people who aren't steeped in the Intuit way.
