[quote=maynard]Thanks. I am also very interested in working environment and the work/life balance from people work at those companies in technology (software development). I am less concerned with the salary aspect as that will usually work itself out.[/quote]

Depends on which group you’re in… For Intuit, it’s seasonal… For instance, if you work in the tax group you will be busier during what’s called mini-peak and peak (times when tax filings occur). For other parts of the group, it depends on the project(s) and their respective launch dates.

Don’t know about Active network. Never worked their though I talked to them briefly along time ago when they needed system architects.

As far as SNEI, it varies. But sony isn’t exactly doing well these days. (NEI might be ok)…

Get the position first, then worry about it.
