Intuit reviews

Bad middle management, non technical people as managers make life very difficult. If your manager AES scores come low you better prepare to leave the company or the team, as the manager targets who ever she/he suspects (You might not be the bad scorer but you may become the target). Lot's of politics in the promotion process, to get promotion to senior from SE2 you should never say NO to your manager, agree to what ever she says and agree to what ever work she/lead asks you to do. To get promotion to Staff from SSE you should do the above, plus you should not be doing the coding work rather mostly JIRA story tracking and be very nice with your manager and be nice with some people in your team (with whom you may ask for promotional feedback).

So you’ve probably read how Intuit is "employee friendly" and the "best place to work "? Don’t be fooled by the hoopla... my experience at Intuit was an absolute nightmare - by far the most pathetic employee experience of my career. Shady ethical practices, endemic cronyism, thuggish politics, blame-shifting, scapegoating, arbitrary firings and other random acts of brutality by a failing leader desperately clinging to power: all make for a horrible working environment for any professional just trying to put in an honest day’s work. Definitely not as-advertised and not what I signed-on for! No doubt mileage may vary - many Intuit employees do seem to have long and rewarding careers. Sadly, this fairy-tale existence was totally inconsistent with my hellish experience at Intuit. Most disappointing is the apparent lack of adult supervision… I can only guess that given their board-level visibility, incompetent C-suite executives must be considered too-big-to-fail - senior management seems to just look-the-other-way while they lurch from one clumsy blunder to the next, blaming the victims of their ineptness and making mincemeat of their teams. Success at Intuit has less to do with any mystical and magical corporate culture and more to do the luck of having competent and supportive senior managers (so do take heed and be careful!).
