Pros

Intuit is great place for work / life balance -- you really can have a full life outside work. My manager would check in periodically for the whole team to make sure that everyone's workload was manageable. Additionally, Intuit provides a standard full array of benefits, as one would expect from a software firm of this size. For technical folks, Intuit provides a dual-track career path -- one leads to management, and the other leads to software architect. While there obviously is some availability problems at the high end, it appears you can stay "geeky" and make it pretty far up the career ladder. Software engineers appear pretty well supported. Although as an intern, I was in a cube, all full time employees had their own offices, and good support facilities at the new San Diego campus. Oh, and the intern program is very good -- lots of events (internal and external) and decently interesting work.

Cons

As with any large corporation, there is some amount of corporate/MBA-speak. Review forms sometimes teem with motivational topic headings and other ambiguous-but-hopeful metrics, that you are supposed to review your past performance and plan ahead with.

Pros

I really enjoyed working with Intuit because it was a fast paced environment that pushed me to grow professionally. I appreciated the strong focus on customer experience, the support from leadership, and the opportunity I had to advance into a Tier 2 role within the same season. It strengthened my communication, problem solving, and multitasking skills while allowing me to help customers during stressful situation

Cons

One challenge for me was feeling somewhat disconnected from upper management and operations leadership at times. Most of my direct support and communication came from my team leads, who were very hands on and helpful. I tend to work best in environments where there is strong visibility and engagement from leadership across all levels.
