Intuit reviews

Constant turnover of management leads to many mistakes and dooms them to repeat the same mistakes over and over. Although company values say they value all three stakeholders, all weight goes to shareholders. I was an employee for 17 years and contributed a great deal to the company. In the last two years we had around 5 rounds of layoffs, even though the company was doing extremely well. They attempt to outsource as many functions as possible, no matter how badly the outsourcers perform. Most employees feel like they are playing musical chairs as you never know when you will be "re-orged" out of the company.There seems to be a policy of laying off long term employees and replacing them with younger, less experienced ones that they can pay less.

TL;DR: ABANDON ALL HOPE YE WHO ENTER HERE! Have you ever wanted a frustrating job? A job where meaningless marketing junk is your only work? A job where the executives keep telling you how you’re leading the software field in innovation when you’re working with 10-30 year old technology every day? A job where you’re expected to be on-call 9 months out of the year, and the other 3 months are a total cluster of trying to release a product? A job where you’re expected to work strange hours almost 1/3 of the year? A job where almost no one beyond rank-and-file engineers has ever written a line of code? GREAT, then Intuit if for you!!! Come on over and never spend any time growing or developing with us, where politics and favoritism mean more than your ability to get anything done. Your manager will be so busy that you’ll never even see them, so no one can ever handle the day to day roadblocks that come up. You’ll get lots of training in Scrum but have no Scrum Master, and being Agile means every single assignment you get comes with a wildly unrealistic due date (cause that’s how Agile works, right?!). Within 3 months of starting here, your speech will go from: “Hey, can we chat about trying to get project X started after lunch? I think I can probably get that done in a few weeks if we decide about Y first” To “Let me set up a discussion to start project X and a daily op-mech. This project is coming in hot and needs to be done by the end of the week. We should partner together to figure out some KPIs and get SLT sponsorship to ensure prioritization because we discovered a marketing opportunity geared at customer delight. Also, if I can give you some feedback… blah blah blah” If you’re insane enough to ask why you need 5 hours of meetings a week with 20 people when 2 people are actually doing the work, you’ll be told you’re not being a team player and that you’re not a problem solver. See? Intuit is a land of opportunities, development, and great days writing cutting edge stuff, at least that’s what the executives keep saying.
