      Pros

      Excellent benefits and work life balance. Very smart people working in interesting problem areas.

      Cons

      Politics negatively impact the ability to innovate and provide value to customers. Information from industry experts are frequently discounted by upper management. Very talented people are leaving the company due to issues with upper management.

      Pros

      Work life balance is great. Managers keep their door open and arrange lots of info sessions to the interns. Lots of smart people around from whom you can learn a lot. Work from home is available and compensation is competitive in the industry.

      Cons

      Big company. Could be some miscommunication between the management team. Not so many opportunity to get promote.

      Pros

      If you work for Autodesk, you will be well taken care of. The pay is good, the people you work with are fascinating, and the perks are many. Work/life balance depends on your manager, but overall, there seems to be an effort to help people balance their work for their own situation. Every four years, you are eligible for a six-week sabbatical. Besides that, you get Christmas Eve through New Years Day off so you can focus on spending times with your loved ones. Working during vacations, sabbaticals, and the week of rest is generally frowned upon. Work from home is allowed. One of the coolest things about working with Autodesk is that you are empowering the people who will change the world. That's really cool when you think about it.

      Cons

      Autodesk is huge, so it may take some time to find the information (or person) you are looking for. If you are self-motivated, you'll find what you are looking for. There are politics, sure, but if you have more than two people, you'll have politics. Some people check out once they walk in the office, which can be disheartening to see. This has a lot to do with their managers, and again, is part of human nature. That doesn't have to be your story.
