Intuit Senior Software Developer reviews

There is lot of competition/politics going on in engineering/management community to IMPRESS / SHOW-OFF their respective managers. Almost everybody (not all) looks like wants to impress their bosses . In this process, real innovation, hard work, creativity, takes a side lane many of the times and it becomes a demo-able business many a times. I also saw that many employees complain about not getting even 10% hike in annual appraisals but not sure about this. Intuit is famous for its payscales and it should rather not do this with its employees. Again, the managers have to become more active on this front.

The engineering team I was on (Not Turbo tax) was a very toxic work environment: mostly contractors who aim was to keep projects going by keeping quality relatively low, impeding process changes and lots of back room bickering. Management knows this but won't disrupt a team that ships, not matter how dysfunctional, efficient or wasteful it is and then asks why we can't do more with so many resources.
