      Unfortunate bad manager - Sr. Product Manager Autodesk Employee Review

      Pros

      Had a long career at Autodesk and for the most time loved my time there. I met many of amazing people and had some great mentors to help me grow through the company.

      Cons

      In the end I had a terrible manager that after 15 years I decided to leave. It was once a company that promoted growth/leadership but over the last 5 years of my time there, it was more about pushing sausage through the factory and just doing what you are told. It lost the creative element I once loved there so I moved on and have been pretty happy so far.

      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.
