Great employer but very slow moving and bureaucratic
Pros
I worked at Intuit for about four years. By far, it's one of the nicest companies I've worked for. They offer great work-life balance and excellent compensation and benefits.
Cons
Like any big company, Intuit suffers from a lot bureaucracy. There are lots of useless meetings where people talk and talk and talk, and nothing gets decided. When decisions get finally made, it ends up becoming a little bit of everyone's opinions (a.k.a. "achieving a shared vision"), which results in a bad outcome. There is a very fat middle management layer (I can say that because I was one of them). There are virtually no junior-level people, making the organizational structure an inverted pyramid. We were all getting paid way too much to do some things because we had no one junior on the team. I didn't care either way (I still get paid the same) but I thought it was a huge mismanagement of resources on the part of the company. Also, having such a big middle layer makes it impossible to get promoted.
