Intuit isn't the company it used to be. Note that this review applies to the small business group.

Pros
I think that compared to most companies Intuit's size, it's still probably a pretty decent place to work. Although our commitment to our employees is faltering, it could probably be a lot worse. We've laid off a lot of people recently, but if you're still here, chances are your salary and overall compensation are quite good. If you're willing to play the game, if managing up is your calling, then I think that advancement opportunities exist.
Cons
We've lost our focus on customers - in fact, we've lost our ability to focus at all. We re-org around personalities, not business strategies. Just as soon as we have a team working on something, we start asking them to "think more broadly" - which is code for "focus on more things". Gone are the days when small teams got together and stayed together long enough to figure out the best way that they could deliver for customers. In particular, if you're an engineer, and you are interested in any aspect of product development other than actually coding, Intuit is no longer a good home. The idea these days seem to be that product work is for PM's and designers - and innovation is something to be compartmented off in "whitespace" projects and not to be found in any of our main-line products.

Good atmosphere, but we're going nowhere, and that can be demotivating.

Pros
Intuit really cares about its employees having a good work / life balance. You get to work with some great, very smart colleagues. There are some pretty fun projects to work on, as well, although there's not always a clear rationale for the proejcts themselves.
Cons
Our management has no guts and no vision. All we know how to do is sell QuickBooks, and we're afraid to give away any of that in a bid for something bigger. Management often values their personal relationships with each other over what's right for the customer.
