Intuit reviews

Losing sight of the importance of the employee... General feeling from management is that you are lucky to have a job and that you are completely replaceable and that your opinion doesn't count unless you are part of the chosen few and this is coming from someone who is already pretty high in the company. I felt like I had more input into how this company was run 5 years ago than now and I am not alone. Many of those who have been around a while have left or are contemplating leaving. It is too bad because this was a company that I and lot of my compatriots cared a lot about. The problem is especially acute in the Small Business Division. There has been a lot of turnover, reorganizations, and the leader being the former CFO talks about $ and cents more than anything else.

* How many people does it take? Definitely too many cooks in the kitchen for certain jobs. * Always looking out for # 1, Always? - Promoting oneself always seemed to be among the top in a priority list, even when promoting means lip service. * Becoming too cushy - I've heard it once referred to as a "country club", while the environment is ok and the amenities are top notch, the daily work is something to be undesired. I referred to it as " a nice play to retire from without the security " since the fear of losing ones job is more evident. * Agile methods - the use of agile methodologies are used poorly and our "scrum masters" merely follow the process verbatim without questioning it's usefulness. How useful is a 1 hour scrum every day for a small group where the same regurgitated info is mentioned three times out of the week? I don't understand the use of explaining what we're working on when we clearly have it entered in 2-3 other areas throughout a monthly sprint. * Meeting junkies - Meeting place for everything, I mean everything! If it involves more than 2 people, that's automatic meeting place instead of just going over and speaking to the person(s).
