Intuit reviews

They seem to have lost sight of their core values which were awesome. 1. Build high performing teams (many disbanded) 2. Innovate for Impact (localizing globalization killed marketing) 3. Delight the customers (no opinon, just poor web experiences that I see now) 4. Drive for Results (stock price is holding, but impetus of start up mentality has been drowned be red-tape and poorly chosen senior leaders in some areas) 5. Own the outcome (no-body other than maybe C-Suite seems to know who really owns what outcome, and what those outcomes should be. I love woking at Intuit, the Intuit I was hired into 6 years ago. I very much doubt I would go back even if offered a job - which seems highly unlikely as I was made redundant despite being a driver of one of the highest performing teams in the company after yet another restructure. I'm not at all bitter - awesome redundancy package, walked straight into t anew job and my experience helped land me my current job as VP of a pretty cool Tech Business.

* Very frequent reorgs (yes "change" is constant, but this is more like "churn") * Some truly incompetent management, especially at the middle layer * Too much focus on personalities, too little focus on whether an idea makes sense * Very political environment which requires significant energy to navigate * Very difficult to get anything done (requires consensus and popularity vs. merit) * Focus on process rather than progress * Antiquated technology and no real understanding of what it means to be Agile. Also, much depends on one's immediate manager (as with any place.) If you wind up stuck with a bad one -- perhaps as a result of the near continuous reorgs -- there's no recourse. It breaks my heart to say this, as I loved working at Intuit for many years. It's only now that I've left (after more than 20 years) that I realize a job doesn't have to be this way. I am now at a company where the work and delivering for customers matters more than the politics and personalities ... unfortunately that is not the case at Intuit.
