Pros

Great people, love the benefits (including a 6 week sabbatical after 4 years), diverse solution portfolio which allows for many options to move within the company. Excellent technology, often best of breed in the industry.

Cons

Very political in nature, seemingly endless reorgs, and sometimes product development seems to take much longer than usual. Very siloed as a company which can be a challenge to get things done. Names change so much, with acronyms, there is an "Autodesk dictionary" to keep track.

Pros

Great technology, nice benefits, great stock plan for employees, interesting work.

Cons

Senior Leadership team prefers to think and theorize rather then focus on managing the company for serious growth. Many silos are allowed to exist and divisions are given far to much autonomy. The company could have 2X the revenue if the C level executives had serious business experience.

Pros

Working with industry leading customers; Global experience

Cons

Insulated management culture, based on relationships, & disconnected from customers and rank & file workers; Ineffective management decisions are covered over with annual reorganizations, with little management accountability and blame assigned to subordinates. Cultural & market segment parity with Microsoft; a large ship that has lost its way.
