Pros

working in Intuit gives you great work life balance. The engineering work is mostly easy and sometimes very laughable. The company is definitely stable and you don't to worry too much about being lay off (most of the time). Intuit also provide some time for employees to create innovative ideas (some times). They also tolerate flexible working hours and generally people work from home 1 or 2 days a week. Some leaders in Intuit are also very approachable and you can always learn a thing or two from talking to them. They working environment are mostly satisfactory with adequate equipments.

Cons

The product is not imaginative and most of the engineering teams are usually not strong. People tend to care more about politics especially when they work cross functionally instead of focusing on the results. Projects that are failing usually take a long time before it is being helped or being canceled hence, causing loss of money and time. The company is not aggressive in attacking the market and too process oriented that sometimes it is in our way in getting work done. The pay is so-so and career advancement is slow for people who are aggressive.

Pros

Good compensation, excellent benefits package, cafeteria and gym onsite, and they pay for education. Good work-life balance, except during the tax season. It is possible to get away without working much, and many people do.

Cons

People are mediocre at best, lazy and incompetent at worst. Managers yell, scream, and call people in to work on Saturdays. Meetings take a better portion of the day, and it's important to go and agree with the powers that be. People are punished for bad decisions, but are not rewarded for good ones, therefore it is very hard to get to a decision at all. Discussions go on for weeks and months. There is a general culture of firefighting - the most brownie points go to the person fighting the biggest fires, never mind that those are generally the people who caused the fires in the first place.

Pros

If you are looking for work life balance, intuit is right for you. The benefit package in intuit is great, employees can choose to work from home a few times a week. Lots of training opportunities for career advancement. I took more than 2 weeks within the last 12 months. Compensation is reasonable compared to similar jobs in other companies. The company used to be very stable, but there were some layoff this year. Not sure if there is more coming. You will get changes to know book knowledge, products are overengineered. Good for you to put all buzzwords in your resume, but maybe not so helpful for the company to deliver.

Cons

Intuit sticks to heavy overkill processes. Product teams try to adopt agile process, but the teams only appear to follow agile, they don't get the soul and true spirit of agile. Employees have to fill in a spread sheet how many hours they work each day, how many hours left in each task. But ironically the teams move slowly.
