Best company and culture I've ever worked for

Analyst

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Everyone cares about each other from leadership, all the way down not only in words, but also actions, very horizontal feel. A lot of friendly people to work with. Cool products. Great movement within the company if you want to try other roles, this is encouraged. Office renovations have been really nice. Easy to talk to anyone in the company. Best culture, great benefits, amazing work-life balance. Micro-managing is not common from what I've witnessed.

Cons

Not as great beverage options in the office, if you care. The data can be messy and silo-ed to work with. Things can take awhile to move along within work, since it's a big company and a lot of hoops to jump through.

Bullish on Autodesk

Manager, marketing

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Strong senior leadership, clearly identified strategy and targets for the next several years, market leader and still growing, opportunities for advancement across the business, hiring practices that prioritize fit and leads to a enjoyable and cohesive employee experience.

Cons

Very few entry-level positions and as a hiring manager it is difficult to build a bench, promotions/advancement and inter-team dynamics can be overly political.
