Vantaggi
Strong core values, generally pretty open communication from senior management. You can still feel some of the presence of Scott Cook's original vision. Benefits packages is excellent, including lots of vacation. Good work/life balance, and the values, when lived up to, are first class. Change is constant, which can be good: avoids stagnation, fiefdoms, etc. Always new things going on.
Svantaggi
Outsourcing - this doesn't fit in with Intuit's core values (#3 Its the people), but rather than openly deal with the issue, it has become a taboo topic. Every time another job is outsourced, they say it is a "business decision", which has become code for "it saves us money". Don't dare ask about it, though. Layoffs - Steve Bennett came from GE and brought the annual and semi-annual layoffs. This too doesn't fit in with the Intuit values. Steve has left, but the layoffs live on. If you want to dump the bottom 10% of your employees, it would be more honest to fire them for poor performance (Intuit value #1, Integrity without compromise).
