This is, quite literally, your tax dollars at work. Intuit’s bottom line that has led to explosive growth is tax software. They’ve lobbied constantly to prevent the IRS from moving to anything other than external tools and preparers the tax payer must pay for on top of existing taxes. They have gained so much fucking profit from keeping taxes complicated that they’ve expanded into other markets like marketing software.
Fuck Intuit and fuck all the software engineers I know that sacrifice their morals to work there.
I’m in tech and I don’t compromise my morals. I have boilerplate that I send to Amazon and AWS recruiters. Meta stopped bothering me after I called Zuck a robber baron. Google lowballed me with total comp and I laughed while rejecting so it’s been a few years. I don’t make as much as I could and, guess what, I live a great fucking life still. My goals might take a little bit longer but I didn’t support genocide while doing them so I think I came out on top.
You can find places in tech that don’t actively fuck a majority of US taxpayers. Sometimes it’s hard and sometimes you have to bounce around a bit. If you want to take a job at Intuit because the pay is better than somewhere else, fuck you. I know you’re sleeping just fine at night; I don’t care.
I’m a software engineer and would never work for the likes of them. You should absolutely consider the moral worth of where you work as much as possible
I would work for a company I don’t like but they would have to pay a significant premium. Like I was talking to kaust but I wanted compensation beyond the rather large one they were ready to give. Got the guy who recommended me to be a bit annoyed but this would have required myself and my wife to liver over there and if some medical thing came up she would have to don a burka and get seen in ryhad.

As a software engineer, trust me. Most of us are in tech because the pay is good - that’s it.

Hey man you need to see somebody for this.
Like, I don’t work at Intuit.

Every tech company is shitty in some way.
Finding a moral tech company is impossible.
