Pros

Overall great benefits - C staff took great care of employees during COVID, offering monthly company holidays, vested stock plans, and guaranteed no layoffs. The majority of employees are friendly and willing to help.

Cons

When I began working at Autodesk I was told that your happiness greatly depends on your manager. While my time at Autodesk was great to begin with, my team became increasingly toxic during the pandemic with a new director that asked for too much from the team, and increasing hostility, bullying, and manipulation from my manager. The team was expected to work long hours including early mornings and late nights, there was no recognition or career growth opportunities, and the pandemic further intensified discontinuity among the team. Overall the team seemed overworked as management has no room for human error and continually increases workload without adding resources.

Pros

Great perks. Have a cash cow that means job security is guaranteed. You have to really really really suck to get fired

Cons

Very slow moving org and people with significant talent move on quick. A lot of promotions are due to time at company rather than ability to execute
