Pros

- Coworkers (individual contributors) are a joy to work with. They are intelligent, understanding, and helpful. - Autodesk encourages a healthy work-life balance. Office hours are flexible, and as long as you fulfill your responsibilities on time, you are rarely questioned about how much time you spend at work. - Working from home as frequently as one day a week is an accepted norm. - Autodesk provides great health benefits. - All employees are eligible for a 6 week sabbatical (paid time off) every 4 years.

Cons

- Base salaries are less than competitor salaries. - The senior management is not very open about their immediate plans, long-term vision, or anything in-between. The management, in general, tends to have a secretive approach about everything. - Opportunities for promotion, leadership, knowledge growth or general career development are few and far between.

Pros

Passionate and smart people. Open communication culture. Cool work environment with flexibility in work presence/schedule, as long as the job gets done.

Cons

Tight on resources. Too small to afford best in class systems by itself - the larger parent company got to make decisions on many of the corporate work tools and sometimes overkill for the size of the business.

Lots of positives but room for improvement.

Pros

I enjoy working with smart and interesting people around the globe. The company has good benefits and treats its employees fairly. I've had many opportunities for different jobs and advancement opportunities.

Cons

There is still a silo mentality between the divisions. The executive leadership seems ego-driven rather than business-focused. There are many people in middle and senior leadership positions who should not be there. The execs are loathe to make the hard decisions they need to make.
