Pros

There are many. Autodesk has wonderful people and is working hard to keep a kind, balanced, open, and interesting environment. The offices are beautiful, the attitudes towards work / life and humane, the pay is good, and the products / customers do really amazing things. As a tech company, we're not slinging "ad words" or some next flash in the pan photo sharing app -- Autodesk technology really impacts the world around you and that's inspiring.

Cons

There are few. Like any big company, sometimes projects or ideas can get caught up in tape, bureaucracy. Certain areas are hotter than others and move faster. That said, if you build good relationships and are influential it's not hard to get stuff done. This is a minor "con" for me -- I've worked at a handful of medium to very big companies and have driven more ideas and projects to fruition here than anywhere else.

Pros

Good pay. Good benefits. Some interesting projects. Nice offices in San Francisco.

Cons

CIO and most senior leaders in EIS are empty suits. They don't understand current technologies and spend all day playing politics. They throw their people under the bus when they get in trouble. For example my apps team had a great leader who really changed things around here. He was technical and helped us to modernize everything from bringing in agile development to changing the languages and databases. He was the only member of CIO staff who had any real diversity on his leadership team. But the CIO decided to fire him because it was becoming obvious he was so much a better stronger leader. I actually asked the CIO what happened and got a political BS answer. Now we're going backwards at light speed and the CIO spends all day telling little stories and slogans and throwing people under the bus.

Pros

Talented people Good Benefits and Salary Innovative company

Cons

Upper management doesn't really know what is going on in the frontline. Its all about numbers but they don't understand that not everything is created and treated equal. Can make for stressful days.
