Intuit reviews

A lot of these negative reviews are from the small business group (QuickBooks brands). They've had a tough year, hit by the recession which means tough numbers, org change, layoffs, etc. To be expected but still really hard to live through, especially for the front line people with less visibility. In consumer group (tax): Haven't seen a lot of leadership at the VP level for a while, expect this to be fixed as some transitions settle down. Almost all effort spent on dealing with downside risk to protect existing products and revenue... it's less fun to protect existing business and be on the 'defense' then to have less to loose and go for aggressive growth. Some of the engineering leadership doesn't understand that shared services means that we have to SUPPORT each other instead of tear each other apart. When the leaders have the negative attitude it spreads throughout the entire organization and pulls us back towards 90's style product silos.

-very management heavy...lots of bureaucracy, silos, unbalanced say/do ratios. You need a committee of at least 5 VP-level folks (Engineering, Product Management, Sales, Marketing, and Service/Support) to make even small decisions. -has lost its way as a product company, or at least has decided that it wants to play a different way. The new sr leadership team doesn't have deep experience creating & winning with products so they're focusing on acquisitions. As a product person, if I wanted to spend my time integrating offerings & companies I would rather work for Cisco, HP, or Oracle...
