      Pros

      I never expected to be a veteran of Autodesk or any company for that matter. I like change. I like big ideas. I like to make big ideas happen. In my 10+ years at Autodesk, I've had many different opportunities to work on big idea initiatives and drive positive change in the company, and this is the main thing that has kept me here. If I were to find an opportunity to make a bigger impact somewhere else, I would probably take it. I've considered a few opportunities at other companies over the years, but none has been as compelling as what I've been able to do at Autodesk.

      Cons

      Since Autodesk is a company that embraces change, those who are uncomfortable with change are typically uncomfortable working here. While this isn't a con per se, it's something that people who are considering working for Autodesk should understand.

      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.
