Pros
Mission driven company. Hiring and performance done around values. Intuit is quite a customer-driven company. The collaborative culture is fantastic. Leadership is transparent, there is a high bar for people leaders to invest in their teams. Lots of opportunities to move around and learn new skills. Tons of focus on coaching, career development, leadership development. In my function (Marketing) we do a ton of very interesting work, and as a company, we're not afraid to try new things to ensure we are at the forefront.
Cons
Intuit is fairly agile for its size (8000 employees) but it still does feel like working for a big company. The amount of politicking needed to line up the right support and resources is too much. It is taking away from the actual work. Also, finance drives a lot of the forecasting process and often sets target that marketing can't realistically attain. The working teams are then spending inordinate amounts of time explaining why they can't reach the target, instead of actually delivering impact for customers. Lastly, there is a completely different bar for product than for marketing. Marketing can't say no to any priorities; if anything is delayed or not hitting target, there is a lot of explaining to do. Meanwhile, product launches slip by months and months, and that's fine. There is also a completely different bar for getting promoted in marketing vs product. There is tons of learning in marketing, but very limited advancement.
