Progressive, but still suffers from legacy organizational baggage.

Program manager, governance

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

-Espouses progressive employee-centered wellness as a core company culture standard -Average/decent pay -Flexible time off (keep in mind this is so they don’t have to pay out vacation days, make sure you push for time off!) -In the sea of tech companies with terrible company cultures and questionable ethics, Autodesk is at least on the other end of the spectrum. They want to be better as a company and they have a seemingly empathetic CEO which makes it one of the better options as far as big tech companies go, but it’s still capitalism.

Cons

-Organizational baggage from changing business models to SaaS. Legacy bureaucracy clouds decision-making and accountability. Change management, while a focus, is still met with resistance. -Politics in senior management becomes taxing -Depending on your org, the implementation of previously-mentioned employee wellness as a culture code can be… lacking. They talk the talk, but often do not walk it.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good Pay - For someone just starting off Great Management- These guys are saints The office is beautiful but they have been very cautious about not going into the office.

Cons

Construction is not an easy business. Cold calling people is rough. The marketing team seems to never be in step with the BD team who take the rough side when customers are called as prospects and vice versa.
