Pros

*Awesome culture, I feel allot of support for my success. Great work life balance. *Autodesk is a company where negativity and passive aggressiveness/being un-collaborative is not tolerated. Everyone is genuine and supportive of each other. *People are feeling more empowered to speak up when they see something is amiss. *Great benefits/pay is reasonable / employee learning and development is encouraged.

Cons

* On-boarding into the company is a bit challenging and can leave you feeling a bit like you need to figure things out yourself. Using the Intranet and asking lots of questions is encouraged. There are too many acronyms, it is a running joke, but has underlying truth. * Decisions can get bogged down in multiple reviews and approvals. *Longer tenured employees can be reluctant to bring up issues to colleagues/managers because this was seen as a negative in the past. Hard to break old habits.

Pros

Great benefits; great work-life balance. You can work from home anytime you need to and every 4 years you have the sabbatical: 6 weeks of paid vacation.

Cons

To much politics and silos. In general adverse to innovation. Middle managers very adverse to take any risk. Teams can be very disorganized.

Pros

Great benefits, diversity focus and pay, sabbatical, flexible work hours and locations, Pier 9 benefits, stock purchasing and great location

Cons

Politics run amuck in certain divisions, too many managers, senior managers, directors, etc. Could use some revamping and getting rid of the dead weight
