Glad there is a better way (unfortunately not at Intuit)
Pros
* Had great experiences over many years (though 2013 or so) * Many great people who truly care about customers * Great salary & benefits
Cons
* Very frequent reorgs (yes "change" is constant, but this is more like "churn") * Some truly incompetent management, especially at the middle layer * Too much focus on personalities, too little focus on whether an idea makes sense * Very political environment which requires significant energy to navigate * Very difficult to get anything done (requires consensus and popularity vs. merit) * Focus on process rather than progress * Antiquated technology and no real understanding of what it means to be Agile. Also, much depends on one's immediate manager (as with any place.) If you wind up stuck with a bad one -- perhaps as a result of the near continuous reorgs -- there's no recourse. It breaks my heart to say this, as I loved working at Intuit for many years. It's only now that I've left (after more than 20 years) that I realize a job doesn't have to be this way. I am now at a company where the work and delivering for customers matters more than the politics and personalities ... unfortunately that is not the case at Intuit.
