Intuit Senior Software Developer reviews

Sadly while the culture is great, and the public facing technology is what you would expect from a modern SaaS company, the immediate tools they allow you to work with are not. It's fairly obvious the their IT organisation is pretty old school. While offering both Macs and PC's, the PC's are behemoths and not fun to carry around. They're so loaded with security software trying compensate for Window's poor security that you're lucky if the batteries last an hour sometimes. Sadly the Mac's aren't much better. Using a modern Linux distro isn't even allowed so you're stuck with 2 poor options for development environments. I often feel like the policies and infrastructure their IT org has put in place is actively trying to prevent me from getting my work done. Oh, I almost forgot to mention they've also installed keyloggers on their laptops. Nothing says you don't quite trust your employees like key loggers, ehh?

If your resume doesn't have SAP, Micron, or Extended Systems on it, then you're not part of the old boys club. Your ideas will not be listened to. You will be given little autonomy on the direction of the product or choice of technologies, even if your decisions are backed up by reasonable arguments. Senior engineering leadership are digging in their heels and making the Intuit transition more painful than it needs to be. Negotiate your salary hard upfront. Once you are hired, it is difficult to get a decent raise. Management also doesn't seem to care about retention/equal pay for good employees
