Intuit reviews

All pros described above are nonexistent in the Plano office due to incompetent middle management. Every time you think they've already hit the absolute low, they prove you wrong. In the past couple of years, all middle management has been hired based on their nationality and not professional expertise. This leads to a chain reaction, as the same hiring practices propagate to the lower levels as well. Plano does not hire any full time engineers directly anymore. Instead, contractors from a shady recruiting companies are hired, and if they prove themselves at the social gatherings outside of work and happy hour sessions with the management, they are retained/promoted. Coincidentally, there is no diversity among the new hires and I wonder how this does not trigger a red flag with HR. Plano middle management survives by bullying its employees to provide positive reviews on the employee survey. Managers use their 1-1 meetings to go over the individual comments in the survey trying to figure out who said what and if an employee has a concern they are encouraged to leave Intuit. Some managers push their employees to work overtime, while they themselves abuse the vacation/work from home policies to the greatest possible extent, taking multiple weeks off a few times during the same year or "working" from other countries while being offline the entire time. Credit is taken from people who work hard without a second thought. Managers take credit for the work which was done even before they joined Intuit. If somebody raises a concern, they are involuntarily pushed to other teams or forced to leave the company due to frustration. All of the above negates the positive things in Plano which still has a number of very competent people who are unfortunately individual contributors without much say.

I've been at Intuit for 5 years. The first 3 years were great, the last two, not so much. Before you apply or accept an offer, make darn sure you negotiate to get the highest title and starting salary. YOU will most likley NOT get promoted. Sure, there are some promotions, but in my group of 25+, ONE promotion in 3.5 years and it just happened last month. Despite the high level of talent and meeting and exceeding goals, management does not promote anyone. So, good people leave the business unit , or worse, leave the company. entirely. If you are a Senior manager for example and have tried dillegently to get promoted to Group manager, you likely will not. However, you can apply with another business unit in the company and easily get hired. So messed up that you can't get a head in your current role/group that you like, but another group has no problem 'promoting' you. Senior management at Intuit doesn't really 'DO" anything. RAther, they repurpose and present other peoples work and indirectly take credit. Most of the 'managers' don't have ANY visibiilty with senior leaders, so there is NO chance of promotions. Intuit leads spend their time in meetings and putting together powerpoints, while the rest of the group actually does the work. Leaders are astonished that people complain about too many meetings, because to them, that is ALL they do. They think that if you are need it meetings all day, you must not be working. However, the people that are doing the work are drastically slowed down by all these meetings, but management doesn't care or notice. Leader are much more impressed by a fancy powerpoint that took a week to put together, vs someone who just went in, did the work and got results. Its all about the framing. I get it, I guess, but its such a waste.
