Turbulent organization with limited promotion opportunity

Pros

Autodesk is truly working on software to help customers design and create a better world. The examples are all around you. They pay their employees well in compensation and benefits. If you are a designer, artist, engineer-type, you can work on some amazing projects and products.

Cons

Major reorganizations every year or so. Working with 4th VP in three years. Hard to establish teams and deliver on mid to large initiatives when accountability shifts so often. If you are not a politician, it can be challenging to move up in the organization. Hard work, intelligence, loyalty, and skill do not always reflect in your title. Don't ever confuse Work/Life Balance with Work/Life Flexibility. Autodesk expects long hours, but does allow you to work them on the weekend, evenings, and early mornings, so you can squeeze in family time when they are awake.

Autodesk Response

Thank you for your review! We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience working at Autodesk. We strive to create an open culture at Autodesk and value feedback so that we can become an even better company.
