Intuit Group Program Manager reviews

It's hard to move fast on new initiatives

However, in 2003, the company had a drop in the stock's price and management decided to eliminate my position. They gave me one month to find another job or else take the severance package. I took the package because (1) it was a generous package and (2) I felt disillusioned by the total turnaround in the situation. In one month, things went from, "You are great" and "The function you run is one of the core values at Intuit" to "Thank you, you did an excellent job. Here's an enhanced severance package to reflect that excellent performance. Now get out of here." I really don't know what happened or what changed. I assume it was politics behind the scenes that I will never know about. I even asked senior management that if I was such a great performer, wouldn't they want to help me find another position within the Intuit? But they said no, that was my responsibility. I left feeling disillusioned about the vision and values I had believed in.
