Pros

Company t-shirts/product merchandise; a trip to US /Europe every year for a global meet.

Cons

Work Culture in India offices varies from one team to another; Leadership doesn't have a long-term strategic vision on how to differentiate or Win; more worried about subscriptions/renewals of company software every quarter than retaining talent. Tries to copy Microsoft strategy globally- hires ex-Microsoft employees who only know to say YES to every jingle of leaders. People are stuck at the same level for decades doing the same job like as robot. No scope for career growth or advancement.

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.
