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.
