Pros

Consistently voted as one of Forbes magazine's Top 100 Places to Work Good compensation, great benefits Great work environment (in most business units) Smart, passionate people

Cons

Your experience at Intuit is heavily dependent on the group and/or manager you work for. Constant lay-offs and re-orgs make it difficult for you to have control what group you're in or who you report to. Intuit consistently lays people off every year and the layoffs are not done by performance, so if you're one of the top performers you could be laid off and if you're one of the worst performers you could stay. After the layoffs, the numbers of workers are cut dramatically but the work load remains the same, so everyone left is tasked with taking on the extra work.

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.
