Cons
Career Advancement - there are no opportuntiies for career advancement at Intuit. Directors have no upward mobility therefore mid- level mangement has no options... the effect of lack of mobility trickles down through the organization. There are numerous examples across the company where jobs are filled from the outside rather than from internal candidates...I guess managment thinks so little about the current employees capabilities that they wont hire from within! "Own your career" is the rallying cry of management , but the reality is you don't/ can't . Criteria for advancement has been established but the exceptions to the the stated criteria are sufficent enough as to render them useless. If you like endless lateral movement which allows you to "learn" as well as participating in trainings which result in nothing than Intuit is the place for you. Senior Management - is insulare and focused on self preservation. They avoid tough discussions with each other in favor of developing a congenial atmosphere. The goal is to create the atmospere that everyone in agreement with each decison. Managers regularly protect (and often promote) individuals that display behavior which runs counter to company norms. Decisons within organizations and about individuals are made behind closed doors and often seem focused exclusively on making sure that they have the right "butts in seats" with little consideration to what career aspirations individuals may have. Senior managers who fail in roles are regulary re-assigned to different divisions. I think we all thought that Brad would bring a breath of fresh air to the company, but so far little has changed. We still have the annual reorgs, that seem to have zero impact on decison making or business performance. Strategy - It changes each year... need I say more.
