Pros

Some good talented people. Decent pay, good benefits. Intuit would like to think that its the be all end all of employers, but many companies offer the same salary and benefits, and Intuit for employees has been on the decline for the last two years, IMO. All of that is masked because we somehow keep ending up on the Forbes list of top companies to work for.

Cons

I've been at Intuit for 5 years. The first 3 years were great, the last two, not so much. Before you apply or accept an offer, make darn sure you negotiate to get the highest title and starting salary. YOU will most likley NOT get promoted. Sure, there are some promotions, but in my group of 25+, ONE promotion in 3.5 years and it just happened last month. Despite the high level of talent and meeting and exceeding goals, management does not promote anyone. So, good people leave the business unit , or worse, leave the company. entirely. If you are a Senior manager for example and have tried dillegently to get promoted to Group manager, you likely will not. However, you can apply with another business unit in the company and easily get hired. So messed up that you can't get a head in your current role/group that you like, but another group has no problem 'promoting' you. Senior management at Intuit doesn't really 'DO" anything. RAther, they repurpose and present other peoples work and indirectly take credit. Most of the 'managers' don't have ANY visibiilty with senior leaders, so there is NO chance of promotions. Intuit leads spend their time in meetings and putting together powerpoints, while the rest of the group actually does the work. Leaders are astonished that people complain about too many meetings, because to them, that is ALL they do. They think that if you are need it meetings all day, you must not be working. However, the people that are doing the work are drastically slowed down by all these meetings, but management doesn't care or notice. Leader are much more impressed by a fancy powerpoint that took a week to put together, vs someone who just went in, did the work and got results. Its all about the framing. I get it, I guess, but its such a waste.

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.
