Intuit reviews

Management is "clique"-y. Long timers stick together and they indiscriminately get rid of people they don't like despite job performance. Lots of talk, not alot of doing. If they were not the only game in town for accounting software they would never survive as the management is clueless and doesn't respect experience and knowledge from other companies.

Intuit is fairly agile for its size (8000 employees) but it still does feel like working for a big company. The amount of politicking needed to line up the right support and resources is too much. It is taking away from the actual work. Also, finance drives a lot of the forecasting process and often sets target that marketing can't realistically attain. The working teams are then spending inordinate amounts of time explaining why they can't reach the target, instead of actually delivering impact for customers. Lastly, there is a completely different bar for product than for marketing. Marketing can't say no to any priorities; if anything is delayed or not hitting target, there is a lot of explaining to do. Meanwhile, product launches slip by months and months, and that's fine. There is also a completely different bar for getting promoted in marketing vs product. There is tons of learning in marketing, but very limited advancement.
