Pros

> Work-Life balance > Benefits > Great People

Cons

> Starting stage: Interns get higher position just after the internship, Graduates don't get promoted even after giving strong performance for 1-2 years > Great transparency: Managers directly tell you to please before higher Engineers/other Managers to get promotion even if you don't work with them > No Learning > Only show-off works, not real work (Power points) > Re-org happens every 6 months, then reshuffle happens frequently in a team, your manager gets changed at every Re-org/reshuffle, Every time try to understand styles of different managers, different rules for promotion, different types of pleasing based on managers > You don't give correct reasons from the management behind not getting promoted > You need to ask for promotion even after giving consistent strong performances, then they will plan; that also depends on style of manager > Talk loud, Do nothing

Pros

I really enjoyed working with Intuit because it was a fast paced environment that pushed me to grow professionally. I appreciated the strong focus on customer experience, the support from leadership, and the opportunity I had to advance into a Tier 2 role within the same season. It strengthened my communication, problem solving, and multitasking skills while allowing me to help customers during stressful situation

Cons

One challenge for me was feeling somewhat disconnected from upper management and operations leadership at times. Most of my direct support and communication came from my team leads, who were very hands on and helpful. I tend to work best in environments where there is strong visibility and engagement from leadership across all levels.
