      Stable, but room for improvement

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      C-staff are inspiring and motivating Work from home on Fridays Game room but not easily accessible Variety of interesting products Overarching business strategy towards cloud and subscription is encouraging Always something to do

      Cons

      Middle management struggles to lead, inspire and not as tech-savvy as they should be. Conservative about trying new technology Little encouragement to innovate Very matrix-ed and organizationally spread out making it difficult to complete a project in timely fashion Heavy emphasis on meetings Work/ life balance difficult to maintain Political - focused on the how something gets done vs. what gets accomplished

      Great place to work, but not a best in class software development company

      Pros

      ● The company is filled with smart, enthusiastic people who are really passionate about the products and want to give their best to the customers. ● Our customers create interesting, fun things with our products. ● Benefits such as 6 week sabbatical every 4 years.

      Cons

      If your are looking for a best in class software development company with an engineering career path, this is not the company for you. I agree with reviews that the Autodesk mission is to commercialize technology. Employees in the software engineering domains are the blue-collar workers of the company who are expected to work long hours to accommodate 24/7 global product development. There are next to zero executives in the engineering disciplines. The executive levels are on the business side. Even HR has more executives than the teams that build the fabulous Autodesk products.
