Pros

At a high level, Autodesk is a great employer - benefits, work-life balance, etc are all really good. Product support is a little different - there is less flexibility, since we are customer facing, that's understandable, but cuts of the last few years mean that not all the corporate benefits can really be taken advantage of.

Cons

The annual review process is quite arbitrary, and rarely followed up on. Quotas for each rating, and a lack of transparency as to what would make you a top rated employee, make it hard to get another other than "Average".

Too many managers, not enough individual contributors to do the work They laid off the individual contributors and not the overpaid and lazy middle management Too much politics and posturing, not enough work being done Middle management is secretive, cliquish and ineffective

Pros

Any company that allows you to take your dog to work is ok with me. But the culture along with the support to grow and move up within the organization makes it a great place to work.

Cons

There was this one dog that someone brought into the office on Fridays that was particularly fond of leaving a not so small "present" outside my cube every week. Never figured out who’s dog it was because they always seemed to hit “the spot” when I was out to lunch.
