Pros

Management is a discipline at Autodesk. Leadership training is rigorous and strong, but you should buy into the leadership model if you want to reach Director/above.

Cons

Slow to change and make clear decisions because they don’t have much incentive to given the market dominance of several marquee products. Agile with waterfall process mixed in. Politics rampant with senior management always waging territory wars and executives not relying on the right senior managers to influence decision making or achieve objectives. Top talent leaves, and middling talent rises.

Pros

Salary is better than the industry average. They try hard to catch up and the SVP / VP level have a good visions for the company. They are cash rich and will let you learn and spend money on education (if you are in the right department and a team).

Cons

The unfortunate thing about this company is the middle managers who are in constant competition with each other and cannot collaborate due to too much politics to get ahead. Doing new things are encouraged but make sure you have a successful result, they do not like seeing you screw up even if it was just done as a "test". Understand that your position is at the mercy of someone above you therefore be ready to suck up to your manager as much as possible if you don't want to be randomly selected to be laid off. Reorg happens like every 6 month that leaves little room to build trust within the team. Lots of changes to get the company moving but things do not go down to implementation level as they are dissolved somewhere in the middle. Good intensions but actions are rarely delivered.
