Pros
Strong engineering culture with investment in modern tooling, platforms, and AI-driven development Competitive compensation and benefits, with meaningful focus on employee wellbeing Large-scale, high-impact products (TurboTax, QuickBooks, Mailchimp) — real exposure to complex, mission-critical systems Good internal mobility and learning opportunities across orgs
Cons
Bureaucratic procurement and tooling processes can slow down execution (approvals, vendor onboarding, etc.) Cross-functional coordination overhead — getting alignment across teams can be slow Org restructuring and re-prioritization happen frequently, which can disrupt long-running initiatives On-call and operational burden can be heavy depending on the team, especially in infra-heavy roles
