A regular "acquire then layoff" company
Pros
On paper, Intuit offers everything a great company should. Solid compensation and benefits, a nice variety of work options. It encourages employees in community involvement, offers employees time to pursue other interests. If you can find a great manager within Intuit, you'd find a great place to work.
Cons
On paper, they're great, in reality the Intuit environment seems a bit soulless. Rather like having parents who prefer to shower their children with gifts,in lieu of devoting quality time in parenting. Intuit is extremely outcome driven without putting in place the plans to achieve those outcomes. Subsequently, there are many blame games played when those outcomes fall short. Intuit has lost it's knowledge of how to grow their own quality products. They routinely acquire smaller companies that make great products, like Mint, absorb the technology, then dump the newly acquired folks that don't "fit" into the Borg collective.
