Pros
1) Fabulous work life balance. Unlike some other bay area sweat shops (consumer electronic firms, etc) Intuit respects employee work life balance. You can work from home on any day of the week, take time off, etc. The lights in most buildings go off at 6: 00 pm. indicative of a healthy balance of work and personal life. 2) Great compensation. For the same compensation structure, you would have to jump 2-3 levels at other firms. A classic example is that Snr. PMs at Intuit usually make the same as Directors at comparable payment firms. 3) Emphasis on ethics 4) Openness of management. You can have meetings with exec. management as freely as with anyone else in the company. 5) Ability to learn. You get to work on many things while at Intuit and hone your skill sets.
Kontras
1) Career growth. Intuit is very slow to promote and you can be at the same position for 5-10 years with no promotions. 2) Hinders innovation. Intuit has grown by inorganic innovation and acquisitions (Mint, Digital Insight, Homestead, etc). Hence it is very hard to be innovative within the company.
