Pros

-Autodesk is an awesome brand--they make cool software that does amazing stuff -The Sustainability and Foundation team is doing amazing work with non-profits -Great benefits and salary

Cons

-Not very diverse (mostly white males) -Toxic company culture (everyone is very competitive and willing to throw others under the bus to get ahead) -Many processes and systems are extremely outdated because Autodesk hasn't had to innovate as it's been the market leader and giant in its areas for so long. -No opportunities for career growth for young employees (or for more senior employees for that matter)

Pros

interesting work, new technology stack, training, sabbatical program, flexible work hours, free lunch

Cons

Terrible culture; something that has become progressively worse in past 2 years. Bloated middle management where engineers are underappreciated and managers reward themselves. no negative or critical opinions are "allowed", a very bureaucratic mindset where "who you know" is more important than "what you know" .
