Autodesk reviews

Very toxic environment in some teams, especially in Finance. Several people left because of bad management and bad employee treatment. I have worked at multiple companies and this is the worst place. There are people who are there for 15-20 years, buddies with each other, with an attitude to know everything, supporting each other up even if not complement or qualified. People with terrible management skills manage people. You can’t complain to HR because they won’t do anything. I was constantly analyzed why I said this or that, and from day 1 I was told what areas I had to improve on. From day 1! It was very unwelcoming. Your confidence is killed from the very beginning. There was unclear and inconsistent management advice, lots of criticism, gossips, frequent drama and conflict.

Political fights in upper management are destroying the company. As an engineer, expect to be told that everyone is working on some massive initiative across the company. Everyone will drop what they are doing to work on this initiative, and four months later there will be a re-org and you will throw out all the work you've done. You'll repeat this over and over, and each time management will tell you this re-org is different. Also expect layoffs almost every year around November, only for the laid off people to be replaced by acquisitions. Also expect your project to be killed and replaced by an acquisition that is also killed a year later. Just really don't expect to ever ship anything or accomplish anything.
