If you're into great work life balance, look no further. But if you want to be inspired at work, look elsewhere.
Pros
For people with families, Intuit is a pretty good place to work as it's very much a 9-5 type of culture. In addition to the work life balance, compensation is decent and benefits are excellent. For the most part, the people are pretty nice too.
Cons
Where do I even begin? For context, I worked in the marketing organization of the Small Business Division. Here are some of my random thoughts: - A culture built on a lack of accountability. Senior leaders point the blame at everyone else but themselves. - Lack of upward mobility. This is not an uncommon problem. The mindset at Intuit is that "you own your career" but it's really hard to manage this when everything is so political. The culture is shifting too - even if you do awesome, stellar work, it's not about your job performance, it's about your attitude. That is to say, they will only reward people who show fire/passion at work. - Uninspiring company. For "older" folks, maybe it's OK to not work at a company that is cutting edge. But if you thrive on innovation, this is most definitely not the place for you. - Powerpoint-heavy. Sometimes, I didn't know whether the content was more important or the format. Seriously, I can't even begin to tell you how many hours I've spent because someone wanted my slide(s) to be prettier. What a waste of time. - Strategy? Ha! That's a good one. Strategy comes and goes. It changes on a time. There is no such thing as sticking to a strategy for 1+ year. Every year, it's something different.
