Intuit reviews

Intuit used to be a great place to work, but it has turned unbelievably political in that last year or so (starting when Brad Smith took over as CEO). Constant re-orgs are management's attempt to fix things vs. coming up with a solid strategy to win. Lay-off decisions (and I agree that they were necessary in this economy) seem to come down to if you're a friend or were on the team of the latest VP you stay, but if you've disagreed with/challenged him in the past, you're gone. And if you're unlucky enough to work for someone who has disagreed with him in the past, you're out of luck too. As a result, if you want to keep your job, you've got to go along with whatever sr. management says and don't rock the boat. They say they want innovation and an open culture, but that's not the case these days. Adding to the troubles, groups within the same business unit often have conflicting goals so end up competing against each other rather than acting as a single company.

If you aren't a salaried employee, advancement opportunities extremely limited. Any concerns voiced to manager will only result in a bad employee review. Continued outsourcing of product development and support positions - in past two years, four departments at this location have either been outright eliminated or relocated to either the Philippines or India, causing a reduction of over 70 people, some with zero notice. Opportunity for desirable projects is based on who you're buddies with other than who is qualified.
