Pluspunten
- A good amount of exposure to what rest of the company does - a good general knowledge session - Free food and snacks - Free transport to work - Frequent events at high-end hotels and restaurants Also: - A stable place to checkout and learn to join a start-up by learning the right key-words to be used at the right time in the start-up eco-system. e.g. Customer based innovation, lean, design based innovation and a lot more (well, if these are what attracts you)
Minpunten
- Need gift of the gab to reach anywhere in the organisation; if one is a bit introvert - simply does not work - do not join this place at all. - Innovation is valued by the organisation's top management and the company is very innovative in the US. The problem starts when the folks in Bangalore want to fake the innovation. Manipulate numbers, reverse-engineer hypothesis from thin-air, create products which does not monetize for furthering the career is not uncommon. Check failed products: Intuit Money Manager, Fasal, TxtWeb - and several tiny ones in the pipeline. None of these products ever aligned with Intuit's core business objectives - but did cater to several individuals' career growth in being able to make it to rich start-ups as senior people. How long? Really, how long?
