      Consulting Dysfunction

      Consulting project manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Pay and benefits are pretty good, there are some good people within the organization. Current CEO seems good, no layoffs since he took over, which used to be every year.

      Cons

      Autodesk is a good company I have heard, but the things required of consulting project managers are often absurd, non-sensical, and mired in bureaucracy and politics, which is strange for such a small subset of the larger organization. It seems that here, project managers are the lowest of the low and get no respect. Priorities of all other groups seem to trump priorities of PMs. Director level management has historically been not-to-be trusted, and the level of Machiavellian maneuvering is mindboggling. There are a lot of cliques, and favoritism of unsavory types exists. Layoffs and bullies are not uncommon. Opportunities for advancement are quite limited.

      Heart is in the Right Place

      Senior marketing manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Cool product offering, focused on R&D/advancing the industry, convivial work environment, very supportive

      Cons

      Salary, recognition, and promotion/growth process fall behind industry peers. Operational challenges make work harder than it needs to be and impacts customer experience.
