Intuit Canada named to list of 'Great Places to Work'

Intuit, the maker of QuickBooks and professional accounting and tax solutions, has been named as one of the best workplaces in Canada.

Intuit Canada has been recognized as one of the Great Places to Work in the country, climbing six spots from #8 last year to the #2 position in 2013.

The company has offices in Mississauga and Edmonton, with high value jobs in areas such as engineering, product development, marketing and support.

“With a strong focus on personal growth, team diversity and an expectation that innovation occurs throughout the company, Intuit is a great place to build a career,” said Jeff Cates, President of Intuit Canada. “This award recognizes our ongoing progress in making Intuit a workplace of choice for the best and brightest in Canada.”

Intuit Canada was called out specifically for its strong people practices and nurturing a high-trust working environment through the We Care and Give Back program. “It is more than a slogan – it’s one of Intuit’s operating values. Intuit makes giving back easy by granting each employee 32 hours of paid volunteer time each year and providing donation matching,” reads the Globe and Mail special report on Canada’s top employers.

Intuit was also recognized for the third year in a row as one of the best places to work for women, and for the first time took home a special award for camaraderie.

Results are based on the Trust Index Employee Survey, open-ended employee comments about their workplace, and a thorough review of the company’s culture and human resource policies. This methodology is used by over 6,000 organizations in almost 50 countries each year, making it the most widely adopted workforce satisfaction tool in the world.
