Pros

I found 90% of the people at Intuit to be generally kind and friendly. The benefits are good. The San Diego office was very nice and had good amenities. A big variety of teams, some more functional than others.

Cons

My organization was in a constant cycle of trying to update the tech stack, then other priorities arose that the VPs wanted more. Because of the outdated software, our on-call became pretty hellish. Plus, it was a full 24/7 week every month with the expectation of a sub 5 minute response time. Our managers all had way too many reports (15-30) at a time. They were treated pretty terribly and were working at all hours. I would consider returning to Intuit, but I would never be a manager at Intuit. Promo process is pretty over the top and really weighed heavily toward your personal brand beyond your team, which I don't necessarily think makes an engineer a good engineer.

Pros

Great engineering culture, supportive team, strong mentorship, and meaningful intern projects with real product impact.

Cons

Large company processes can sometimes make onboarding and finding the right information slower at first.

Pros

Pays well, nice work notebooks, don't check office attendance until they need someone to fire

Cons

My whole team and management up to VP level are on visa or offshore. They're not interested in including other cultures. No direction except looking good for immediate manager. Lots of favouritism too. Expectation to accommodate offshore times. Tech is a legacy hodgepodge of unnecessary implementations that only we're made for the resume of the developer. People let go randomly, so no use to work hard or smart, only thing that matters is if the right manager likes you.
