Pros

Mainly one: Nearly unlimited training opportunities. If you're a not-so-good worker, there's also the benefit that there are a million ways to waste time and never have to work including meetings, "tech talks", getting promoted to Architect (who don't appear to actually do anything), etc.

Cons

TL;DR: ABANDON ALL HOPE YE WHO ENTER HERE! Have you ever wanted a frustrating job? A job where meaningless marketing junk is your only work? A job where the executives keep telling you how you’re leading the software field in innovation when you’re working with 10-30 year old technology every day? A job where you’re expected to be on-call 9 months out of the year, and the other 3 months are a total cluster of trying to release a product? A job where you’re expected to work strange hours almost 1/3 of the year? A job where almost no one beyond rank-and-file engineers has ever written a line of code? GREAT, then Intuit if for you!!! Come on over and never spend any time growing or developing with us, where politics and favoritism mean more than your ability to get anything done. Your manager will be so busy that you’ll never even see them, so no one can ever handle the day to day roadblocks that come up. You’ll get lots of training in Scrum but have no Scrum Master, and being Agile means every single assignment you get comes with a wildly unrealistic due date (cause that’s how Agile works, right?!). Within 3 months of starting here, your speech will go from: “Hey, can we chat about trying to get project X started after lunch? I think I can probably get that done in a few weeks if we decide about Y first” To “Let me set up a discussion to start project X and a daily op-mech. This project is coming in hot and needs to be done by the end of the week. We should partner together to figure out some KPIs and get SLT sponsorship to ensure prioritization because we discovered a marketing opportunity geared at customer delight. Also, if I can give you some feedback… blah blah blah” If you’re insane enough to ask why you need 5 hours of meetings a week with 20 people when 2 people are actually doing the work, you’ll be told you’re not being a team player and that you’re not a problem solver. See? Intuit is a land of opportunities, development, and great days writing cutting edge stuff, at least that’s what the executives keep saying.

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.
