Pros

I enjoy working here because it encourages very admirable values and you have excellent opportunities for exploring your career as well, should you determine that you are not best suited in the field you were hired into.

Cons

The overall company is amazing, but there are still some leaders that try to micromanage their employees for non-performance related reasons. This is not uncommon due to employees historically abusing freedom, but it can be stressful for employees that are hardworking and would benefit from being trusted more.

Pros

I worked from home so take my review with a grain of salt. The pay is good, the benefits are fantastic, and working from home really is a game changer. Most of my coworkers were friendly as well, at least as friendly as you can be over skype.

Cons

A lot of the self improvement initiatives that Autodesk offers are really only available in person so unless you live near one of their major offices, mainly their West coast office in the US, you won't have access to those opportunities. The inter-department communication could be better as I saw a fair bit of inefficiencies arise from a lack of shared goals between teams and thus dependencies across teams resulted in bottlenecks.

Good if you're an engineer, otherwise steer clear

Pros

Good benefits like sabbaticals and health insurance. Interesting projects and markets that keeps the company innovating. Pay is ok, could be better, could be worse.

Cons

If you're a business person, just skip over it and go to a real company. Their marketing and business leadership is inexperienced and about a decade behind every other company in the industry in terms of thought, sophistication, and knowledge. Most executives in the organization come from software or engineering and actually have no real non-Autodesk experience in their respective fields. It's also extremely difficult to be promoted or move around due to an inflexible culture, strange org structure, and lack of resources for you to own something.
