Pros

Great benefits. Compensation is pretty good. Flexible hours.

Cons

Intuit is a very politically driven company. Tax DIY is a dying business since many competitors are offering DIY tax prep software for free. Though Intuit tries hard to be a software company, it is not entirely a software company. There are more people in the functional space than in the engineering department. The quality of engineers is pretty bad because good engineers usually cannot survive the politics here. The company hires a lot of contractors, so that causes a lot of churn.

Pros

Benefits are amazing, medical insurance, vision and dental. Company match on 401K and volunteer time off.

Cons

They keep making decisions to outsource jobs to contract workers who don't share the same value in training or customer care. Oh they say they do but when you catch the listening to music so loud you can't hear the customer, or literally snoring on the line they can't do anything because of the way the contracts are set up. It is up to the contract company and the contract company just needs warm bodies. They did not even supply enough people doing our busiest season this year to co or the shifts that were required in the contract. So good luck with that. They will always eventually lay you off.
