Pros

Autodesk is filled with great people all motivated and proud to work for Autodesk. Autodesk is a part of almost every major industry pipeline that includes digital software, to include everything from video games to sky scrappers. Autodesk is very forward thinking will still having a solid foundation on stable growth.

Cons

Going to spend more that 2 hours daily on the road to commute to any of the locations in the bay area. If you live in any place that has somewhat decent rental pricing you are going to be paying at minimum 1600 dollars a month for rent. Locations are placed in uneconomical locations for employees.

Pros

- 6 week sabbatical every four years - great support and regular communication from direct managers - reasonable work/life balance - extra paid "week of rest" at xmas - generally very positive culture

Cons

- departments work in silos. not very good cross-company communication. people re-inventing the same wheel - reasonable company strategy/vision, but it doesn't seem to percolate through to the various lower levels of the organization. Again, seems like everyone's sortof doing whatever.

Pros

Generally excellent people who try hard and care about the making their team and the company successful. Sales team is very professional and easy to work with.

Cons

Far too much politics and careerism, especially with the low level executives and wannabe executives. Often no one is willing to make a decision - the big boss wants the little bosses to do it and the little bosses carefully watch the big boss to see which way he's leaning.
