Pros

Autodesk is a leader within many of the markets it services. Its products are typically the standard by which other, competing products are measured.

Cons

Professional development is typically one of the first aspects to suffer from budgetary cuts. Product development is driven by schedule which often results in compromise.

Pros

flexible work hours nice people in general interesting, not cool, but interesting products Decent cafeteria food Bring your dog to work allowed

Cons

All I tell my friends and colleagues is stay away from the pit that is the IT department. It's a poisoned atmosphere, not a fun place to work, and are rather unforgiving of the slightest mistakes. PIP's and firings occur regularly. Fascinating how ANYONE makes it there for 5 years. Managers are not really good managers or mentors, and watch your back with the employees, they are after you too! I was told you have to move around a lot to stay alive there. Glad I didn't stay to find out.
