Pros

1. AWS Trainings 2. Tie up with Orielly

Cons

1. Managers make sure none of his team member is successful making an internal move. Only those who has been in org for long can do it. Once you internal move attempt fails, is the time manager starts retaliation eventually using PIP. PIP is misused and unjustified 2. Managers are busy in developing personal visibility barely of any use to the team. Pure productivity killers. 3. Dont join if you see PSET in the requirement. PDMS (the product division) is better. 4. It use to be a good place but company missing on its core values with bulk hiring and inexperienced, immature managers getting hired.

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.
