So you’ve probably read how Intuit is "employee friendly" and the "best place to work "? Don’t be fooled by the hoopla... my experience at Intuit was an absolute nightmare - by far the most pathetic employee experience of my career. Shady ethical practices, endemic cronyism, thuggish politics, blame-shifting, scapegoating, arbitrary firings and other random acts of brutality by a failing leader desperately clinging to power: all make for a horrible working environment for any professional just trying to put in an honest day’s work. Definitely not as-advertised and not what I signed-on for! No doubt mileage may vary - many Intuit employees do seem to have long and rewarding careers. Sadly, this fairy-tale existence was totally inconsistent with my hellish experience at Intuit. Most disappointing is the apparent lack of adult supervision… I can only guess that given their board-level visibility, incompetent C-suite executives must be considered too-big-to-fail - senior management seems to just look-the-other-way while they lurch from one clumsy blunder to the next, blaming the victims of their ineptness and making mincemeat of their teams. Success at Intuit has less to do with any mystical and magical corporate culture and more to do the luck of having competent and supportive senior managers (so do take heed and be careful!).
