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

I really enjoyed working with Intuit because it was a fast paced environment that pushed me to grow professionally. I appreciated the strong focus on customer experience, the support from leadership, and the opportunity I had to advance into a Tier 2 role within the same season. It strengthened my communication, problem solving, and multitasking skills while allowing me to help customers during stressful situation

Cons

One challenge for me was feeling somewhat disconnected from upper management and operations leadership at times. Most of my direct support and communication came from my team leads, who were very hands on and helpful. I tend to work best in environments where there is strong visibility and engagement from leadership across all levels.
