Pros

Intuit is widely respected in Silicon Valley for being the first consumer software (Quicken) to break out. Founder Scott Cook shows up every day, still on site, imparting his vision to the employees. Intuit (through Cook) invented the customer-centric approach to software. That is still a very big part of the company culture. Experimentation, innovation, and design thinking are all championed here. Excellent pay and benefits (but note below what is the downside of that).

Cons

Lack of diversity is a real hindrance to Intuit's 21st century growth. The execs are drawn primarily from Ivy League schools, + MBAs, with a finishing polish at a consulting co such as BCG, Bain, McKinsey. At the 5,000+ employee scale, politics are obviously going to be a crucial determinant. Because of executives' white-bread background, there's an additional weird veneer of niceness. Intuit's developers and managers all make bank. That's not so bad, right? The downside: People stay here forever, because they don't believe they could sustain their high salary on the open market.

Pros

Benefits are amazing, medical insurance, vision and dental. Company match on 401K and volunteer time off.

Cons

They keep making decisions to outsource jobs to contract workers who don't share the same value in training or customer care. Oh they say they do but when you catch the listening to music so loud you can't hear the customer, or literally snoring on the line they can't do anything because of the way the contracts are set up. It is up to the contract company and the contract company just needs warm bodies. They did not even supply enough people doing our busiest season this year to co or the shifts that were required in the contract. So good luck with that. They will always eventually lay you off.
