Intuit reviews

Worst company ever, lots and lots of non-sense work. If you are a pure techie think 100 times before you accept offer. In the name of agile, converting human beings in to machines. Theres no work life balance. Most of the times end up working 14-16 hours a day. Not at all a so called best company to work for. Ancient technologies used.

Intuit will persuade you to accept a job offer with a hiring bonus and stock. They won't tell you that you will be working way over 40 hours per week to receive your bonus, stock and annual salary. They won't tell you about the politics and favoritism in your interview. They won't tell you that if they don't like you they will get rid of you quickly. There are no second chances. If you are put on "corrective action" that really means that you will be laid off. Everyone knows that. The "corrective action" write-up is not what it sounds and definitely not like other companies. It's Intuit's way of trying to follow the law before laying you off. It is NOT designed to really help you improve as an employee. There are secret individual layoffs where the manager will tell the team that you have decided to pursue other opportunities. Yes, managers like to the entire team but you won't be told that in your interview. There are larger layoffs that occur every June/July due to "company re-alignment". The layoff pattern at Intuit is consistent so don't get too comfortable with your job there. My Intuit manager used to tell us that we could not go on vacation until we finished all of our tasks. Well, tasks are on-going and never end so that meant he discouraged taking any vacation! So when you hear "work/life balance at Intuit" it is not really true. Intuit is in the top 3 of the worst companies that I have worked for in my 10+ years as a software engineer.
