Pros
Autodesk is a global company, making and selling amazing software..... that no one seems to have heard of. If you're OK explaining that no, Autodesk does not make auto parts.... or desks ( although customers use our software to design and even manufacture both! ) then Autodesk is a great place to work. The Hybrid work force option is amazing - work from home / work from the office as long as you are getting things done - is the future of work. Our customers do really cool things with the >100 software tools Autodesk makes and Autodesk was smart enough to start moving into cloud long before competitors. There is a bonus pool - which funds depending on how the company does against it's goals each quarter, good healthcare options and even a stipend to partially pay for home internet if you work from home. Autodesk assesses people annually against their goals for the year - crush your goals and your bonus check can get bumped up a bit. Over-all great place to be especially if you really want to contribute. Would recommend.
Cons
Frequent reorganizations, a new acronym for your new organization every year - you may need a secret decoder ring to figure out what the latest organization name means and does. Just had another 'culture reboot' - in my opinion 'Culture' is something that grows organically based on how management treats people and drives expectations. Kinda silly to think you will change the culture by e-mailing a video training and adding a bright color to your marketing materials. For a while, Autodesk seemed to care more about what new hires looked like than about what they could 'do' - but that seems to be fading. A comically-bad office of diversity still exists, but they seem to have stopped suggesting we add pronouns to our profiles - most of us secretly hope these folks will be quietly discharged in a future workforce redeployment, ( but it's still not politically correct to admit that, so be sure to play along ). 'Hire the best, and treat everyone like you would like to be treated' - would really suffice as a culture statement....and I think that really is Autodesk's core value....never needed an office of self-important administrators to figure that out - it's our culture.
