Would love some feedback on Intuit as a company culture, benefits and compensation. Specifically for a finance role if possible.
Intuit seems backwards because of their known lobbying against tax filing simplification though. Would love to hear thoughts from someone at intuit on this though.
We don't lobby against tax simplification, we actually lobby for it. We have lobbied against bills that propose the underlying tax laws stay the same, but the government's role would expand to include tax preparation in addition to their current roles of collector, auditor, and enforcer. The intention of these bills are not to help the people, just generate more revenue for the government. Our public articles that go more in depth can be found here http://intuittaxandfinancialcenter.com/category/tax/tax-reform/
Good post eng. amazing how many people get this mixed up. Keeping the code the same but having the gov do your taxes for you is not the same thing as tax simplification.
On the upside the business is really interesting and there are lots of opportunity to take on important work. In general the bar here is low but slowly rising (this is part of why getting interesting work is pretty easy) and there are some bright spots. Comp is not FB or Google levels but better than most. Worth a look depending on what you want.
Not sure about finance but recently an engineer from intuit joined our team. I heard they measure productivity at intuit by the number of checkins. The engineer also tried to convince me that it is the standard in tech :-( . Lost all respect for this company since then.
That's a recent change and they do that at Facebook as well(I worked there), and we're told google/amazon as well. It's a stupid easily gamed metric.
Thats not true org-wide. There are a lot of metrics used to measure performance, commits are looked at but not heavily weighed. The most important metric is peer and manager feedback
Very strange experience that a senior finance recruiter at Intuit emailed me last week to connect for a finance job i had applied for And stated that she will respond right back with a time to call and it has been a week. One expects more professionalism from big companies lie Intuit and also from a senior recruiter
Toxic working environment and mean people.
Depends heavily on where you land in the org. Avoid turbotax marketing, its a career trap and sweat shop, for example
Not tech company full of politics and legpulling. Not much new tech stuff to learn at work
Culture is full of politics work is on ultra legacy codebase compensation not so good nowadays typical retirement type of company with very outdated tech stack
True
Too incompetent to get FANG job? Want FANG comp? Here’s your lucky day: join Intuit!
Great culture - among the best in SV IMO . amazing underrated CEO. Somewhat slow moving though that is changing in a hurry. Great benefits and comp.
Is there anything on roadmap regarding adding accounts in different currencies in mint
