Pros

Great products that have market saturation. 80% of the staff is doing their best to get things accomplished.

Cons

-Often a ruderless ship. Change is constant, but chaos shouldn’t be. -The largest org is full of toxic leadership that appears to be untouchable. Bad strategy an bullying, along with retaliation, are rampant but no changes except removing lower leveled staff -Near constant fear of the next re-org-makes everything much harder than is needed. -There is no culture. There is a company culture code, but it’s rarely followed.

Pros

The individual contributors, your peers you work with day in and day out are fantastic people! At the IC level, for the most part, it feels like everyone is in the fight together. The work/life balance is good depending on which business unit/team you're aligned with. The benefits are pretty solid, especially the 6 week sabbatical.

Cons

Autodesk moves at the pace of a snail, very slow to take action on anything. Selling is very difficult with all the undocumented approvals, processes, red tape and very few people are willing to actually help! Leadership doesn't care about the people their decisions impact. Feedback is rarely listened to and acted upon. Pay is terrible compared to competitors in this space. Autodesk has embraced a ton of change over the last few years with new marketing, sales and IT leadership and it shows. They are not shy in showing their desire to be the next Oracle at the expense of their people. They are constantly changing tools, processes, people, roles, you name it so you feel like you're under water constantly. Lipstick on a pig.
