      Little accountability for leadership behaviors - Anonymous employee Autodesk Employee Review

      Pros

      Good benefits, convenient office locations.

      Cons

      This is a good company whose products support many different aspects of modern society. Unfortunately, there is little to no accountability for how the work gets done or how leaders behave in the process. For example, in the communications department, bullying and intimidation is common. The leaders throw tantrums, yell, make public negative comments about employees and if they complain, they may be on the wrong end of covert intimidation. The most confusing thing is that this department reports up to human resources. This doesn't give the rest of us much hope that anything will be done if similar concerns are raised. If you happen to get a good manager then your experience at Autodesk might be a positive one, operative word being "if".

      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.
