Pros

The company strives to be the world's most admired company, best place to work and a trusted partner for customers and the community. It is refreshing to have the priorities clear (employees first, customers second, shareholders third) and to have management that is not afraid to adjust and change strategies as the business climate changes and new opportunities arise. Every employee has the chance to have their idea and creativity impact the business. For a technologist more interested in identifying and solving customers' unmet needs than chasing the competition's feature list, Intuit is a great place to work!

Cons

Moving fast can mean not allowing a new idea to bake, or short-changing thoughtful consideration of side-effects of changes, or customer impact - or even having a poorly-executed move by one business division creating bad PR that impacts other businesses and lasts for years. The company's flagship products are so well-known and pervasive that missteps like this year's attempts by Turbotax to change the fundamental pricing model ripple throughout the other businesses. Break-neck efforts are often expected but seldom recognized or rewarded.

Pros

While Intuit has not been "the" most innovative tech company that comes to mind in years past, the company is really taking great steps to change the internal culture to focus more on employee-driven innovation rather than tops-down mandated innovation. In the past year or so, Intuit has rolled out quarterly innovation contests and ways for all employees to submit and craft new business ideas. Employees are also given 10% "unstructured time" to work on whatever they want, which is a huge factor for people actually caring about ideas and having some time to get them off the ground. There are many situations where off-the-cuff ideas have made it into market and employees have gone on to work on them full time after starting in their 10% time. Also, the benefits are amazing, and the pay is quite competitive.

Cons

The compensation is perhaps not as high as next-door neighbor Google, and the "coolness" factor is much lower (we have no bikes with flags and funny umbrellas all over the place). The employees as a whole are pretty middle-aged, but there's been a large recent influx over the last 3 years after a heavier focus on a college recruiting program that has new employees try out several positions before choosing their final one. There have been layoffs, but I've only known one person affected. Also, there is still a lot of entrenched management that don't quite care about the 10% time and innovation, and see it more as a barrier to their specific business goals than an overall boost for generating new ideas for the company.

Pros

Great benefits-- lots of time off, stock options and shares, charitable giving matching, and tons of other benefits. There is generally plenty of room for advancement/ movement within the company. If you put in the effort to do a great job, you will be recognized (financial bonuses are handed out pretty generously) and the annual bonus can be 10-15% of your salary.

Cons

The company has lost focus in the past few years. Senior management is a revolving door, and the company has spread itself thin as it tries to diversify its offerings. Training is pretty light, but if you are self-motivated to learn and teach yourself, there's plenty to learn.
