Pros

Great work life balance, encouraged to work from home when showing sick symptoms, lots of on campus socials and events. Really good benefits and pays well.

Cons

Your just a statistic at this company here to do code within a very narrow set of defined proprietary tooling. There is no loyalty to you at this company and it is likely due to disconnected leadership you will get moved onto multiple teams over a 2-3 year period due to the constant chopping blocks. They try scrum and agile yet got rid of all scrum masters. Promotions are arbitrary and not based on your merits or tenure rather you are judged by people who may not even know who you are, what you have done etc. Greater majority of employees are either fresh out of college with no real experience but create an echo chamber of thought process. They have trouble hiring experienced talent because of inexperienced engineers who have only ever worked at Intuit doing interviews. Very political, bias and disconnected executive leadership. Company earns two thirds of its revenue via tax but insists everything be made via Quickbooks platform in Mountain View and then syndicated to all other platforms and/or locations. Hiring process is greatly based on social engineering principles and made more difficult to get past screenings if not considered a minority. Have literally been told by a recruiter to make my best effort to hire because they are a diversity candidate as if being qualified is secondary.

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.
