Intuit reviews

Very political and lots of bureaucracy. Discourages creativity. Culture of constant lay offs makes people very competitive and not help each other. Decisions are not made easily. Favoritism is huge and you can't succeed unless you play the 'game'. People are afraid to admit to having a life outside of work and there is too much 'bragging' about working nights and weekends.

Layoffs and reorganizations every year. Reorganizing the teams is done under the guise of 'career development'. It seems to be a ploy to keep everyone off balance and disconnected: there is no transition and knowledge is lost, it's a constant scramble. Keep your mouth shut if you're not part of the "A" team, total disrespect for employee and co-workers. Daily standups (Scrum, Agile process) are opportunities to get thrown under the bus by the A team. If you are not on the A team and try to mimic what's been done to you, you are pegged as 'negative'. A no win situation. Every year another aspect of the TurboTax functionality is transitioned to India, not a lot will be left in U.S.A. New hires are mostly from India and interns, co-ops and rotating engineers are numerous. Co-workers change weekly due to people coming and going all the time, no communication of such: new people just appear, and others just disappear. Many clicks - just like high school. The new person doesn't have a chance to be part of the 'in' crowd unless they are a suck-up (sorry about that terminology). They have their own language and won't share or decode it for the new person. Beware all ye who enter here.
