Pros

There are incredibly talented people across Intuit’s design, engineering, and product organizations. Unfortunately, their potential is too often undermined by a culture that fails to support, empower, or retain them. If you're one of these people, you deserve an employer that genuinely values you, not one that damages your confidence.

Cons

- Leadership accountability is non-existent. Managers are empowered to manipulate performance narratives, sideline dissenting voices, and manufacture underperformance without oversight. - The company presents a progressive, employee-first image externally, but many internal practices, particularly within certain orgs, tell a very different story. - HR lacks independence. Even when employee concerns are formally documented and substantiated, HR often defers to management regardless of conduct or fairness. - Psychological safety is low. Speaking up, asking questions, or seeking clarity can quickly be weaponized against you. There is a systemic pattern of gaslighting and plausible deniability used to quietly push people out, especially new hires who don't align with unspoken power dynamics. - The bar for leadership behavior is extremely low, as long as optics are maintained.

Pros

Benefits are amazing, medical insurance, vision and dental. Company match on 401K and volunteer time off.

Cons

They keep making decisions to outsource jobs to contract workers who don't share the same value in training or customer care. Oh they say they do but when you catch the listening to music so loud you can't hear the customer, or literally snoring on the line they can't do anything because of the way the contracts are set up. It is up to the contract company and the contract company just needs warm bodies. They did not even supply enough people doing our busiest season this year to co or the shifts that were required in the contract. So good luck with that. They will always eventually lay you off.
