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

I enjoyed working with the Mint mobile team. Despite all the changes in management and the changes in direction this team stuck together and worked hard for the customer and for each other. They were also very passionate about the mobile space and wanted to ensure that Mint was the best mobile finance app out there. The core of the team was intact for almost 2+ years and was a blend of new faces and experienced individuals. Everyone on the team was friendly, warm, welcoming and treated you with respect. The team regularly went out to lunch together, hung out after work and even went on trips together. In short, it was a family. More impressive than how they treated each other was how passionate they were about their craft. The team worked hard to create a product that was top notch and cutting edge. On many occasions Apple and Google featured the app as a result of their hard work and dedication. The Android engineers regularly went to the Google Play store and responded directly to customers. More important, when we saw a trend for an issue on the play store we would fix it and ship it. Despite the changes in management the team was able to ship several new features and have fun in the process. While senior management was trying to get their story straight the PM really pushed for improvements to benefit the customer. Sadly this all came to an end recently, as 11 of the original 12 engineers on the team have left in the last 3 months out of frustration. The only thing that keeps me here is my belief in Brad Smith and the work life balance. It is sad however that I show up to work after 9 and leave well before 5.

Cons

Each of the 4 years that I worked at Mint (Intuit) they changed the long term strategy and told us that we could ignore our old priorities. Each time we start our new strategy, we quickly had to change priorities back to the original priorities because we weren't meeting our goals/numbers. More frustrating that the constant change in strategy is the middle management. Their sole goal in life is to ensure that you're doing what you're told. They ALWAYS disregard your feedback and consistently want to pursue their own agenda. If you don't agree with them, they will phase you out as many of my colleagues were. Code Reuse, Code Coverage and Unit Tests is their #1 priority and receive their attention on a regular basis. You will hear them talk about innovation and new features but it's all talk. To help foster innovation they schedule innovation jams or hack days. Everyone is a winner at the innovation jam or hack day but the customer is the loser because nothing actually gets shipped. There have only been 3 or 4 major features shipped in the 4 years that I have been here. What's worse than no new features, not fixing bugs either. Go look at the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. Many many users complain about being logged out, or their bank connection is lost or their transactions are not accurate. We bought this up to middle management and senior management but were told that connectivity is not an area of focus for us. That doesn't even make sense, how can Mint work if you can't connect a bank. The true problem with Mint, is that Intuit does not want to invest in them as a Personal Finance Solution. They rarely ever talk about Mint at Intuit. When there are company wide meetings, Mint is rarely mentioned. The same is true for Quicken and finally decided to sell Quicken and I'm sure that Mint will experience the same fate. In Summary: 1. Constant Changes in long term strategy only to go back to the original strategy 2. Middle Management only cares about their initiatives and does not care about the customer and the individual teams. 3. They talk about new features that ship nothing and worse, don't tend to the other issues 4. Mint will never really be a part of the long term strategy at Intuit

Pros

The pros are all in the past. Mint mobile was a great product, and an incredibly efficient team.

Cons

Executives had no clue what to do with the product. They made top-down decisions that made no sense, and wasted a ton of money while accomplishing nothing. They laid off half the team and the other half quit. Phenomenal incompetence. Stay away!
