Pros

Enjoyed the gym. Learned a few new things. Made some new friends. 401K matching is good.

Cons

Intuit will persuade you to accept a job offer with a hiring bonus and stock. They won't tell you that you will be working way over 40 hours per week to receive your bonus, stock and annual salary. They won't tell you about the politics and favoritism in your interview. They won't tell you that if they don't like you they will get rid of you quickly. There are no second chances. If you are put on "corrective action" that really means that you will be laid off. Everyone knows that. The "corrective action" write-up is not what it sounds and definitely not like other companies. It's Intuit's way of trying to follow the law before laying you off. It is NOT designed to really help you improve as an employee. There are secret individual layoffs where the manager will tell the team that you have decided to pursue other opportunities. Yes, managers like to the entire team but you won't be told that in your interview. There are larger layoffs that occur every June/July due to "company re-alignment". The layoff pattern at Intuit is consistent so don't get too comfortable with your job there. My Intuit manager used to tell us that we could not go on vacation until we finished all of our tasks. Well, tasks are on-going and never end so that meant he discouraged taking any vacation! So when you hear "work/life balance at Intuit" it is not really true. Intuit is in the top 3 of the worst companies that I have worked for in my 10+ years as a software engineer.

Pros

I worked at Intuit for about four years. By far, it's one of the nicest companies I've worked for. They offer great work-life balance and excellent compensation and benefits.

Cons

Like any big company, Intuit suffers from a lot bureaucracy. There are lots of useless meetings where people talk and talk and talk, and nothing gets decided. When decisions get finally made, it ends up becoming a little bit of everyone's opinions (a.k.a. "achieving a shared vision"), which results in a bad outcome. There is a very fat middle management layer (I can say that because I was one of them). There are virtually no junior-level people, making the organizational structure an inverted pyramid. We were all getting paid way too much to do some things because we had no one junior on the team. I didn't care either way (I still get paid the same) but I thought it was a huge mismanagement of resources on the part of the company. Also, having such a big middle layer makes it impossible to get promoted.

Pros

Intuit has Smart people who really care about growing the company, excellent benefits

Cons

meeting culture, not innovative I stayed at Intuit for less than 6 months. when I was hired in Sr. software engineer role, my only condition was to file my Green Card under EB2 as I already have Master's+5 years of experience. They promised me to do that within three months of joining. But, come three months they told me that they'll do it in EB3, which takes more than 15 years for Indians and Chinese people. I immediately started looking elsewhere and found a job where they'll file my GC under EB2. The sad part is Intuit will lose more than 300 engineers in the bay area to other companies and it will be difficult to find good talent because of these shady practices. It's not difficult at all in the bay area to find engineering jobs that file under EB2.
