Pros

Good pay, good work-life balance, good location.

Cons

You context switch onto different projects frequently, so you wont be able to specialize into being an expert in a given area. You are on a one year release cycle, expect to work on features only to have them scoped out later.

Pros

-Cultural diversity -Consistent and calculated change efforts (a company in motion stays in motion) -Supported growth and development -Established tech company with years of finding out what works and what doesn't from a target market, employee satisfaction, and performance/productivity perspective. -Intensely refined succession planning -laid-back environment -Good team dynamics -Awesome benefits

Cons

My experience with Autodesk is fairly exclusive as my position and department have since been dissolved and reorganized into successfully managed divisions. Major cons: -No balance of right and left-brain thinkers (overwhelmingly engineer-minded) -Management politics (found in every organization, unfortunately) -Still a bit "boys-club" with regard to the composition of the executive leadership and high-level managerial staff. -Large organization with residual hierarchy bubbles decreasing alignment along the key stakeholder pipeline... slowing down approvals, change initiatives, buy-in, etc. -Too many managers without aligned strategies and goals

Pros

A large community of highly intelligent individuals. A high level of inter-discipline collaboration. Fertile ground for growing professional relationships and networks.

Cons

At times the attention span and level of commitment to initiatives by senior management changes rapidly. What was paramount one day is irrelevant the next.
