      Constant state of restructuring

      Project manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good work life balance and good benefits, compensation is a little low

      Cons

      Constant state of restructuring, no job security. Don't leave your current employer for Autodesk they will leave you unemployed and out in the cold... new buzz word around Autodesk is co-location, moving jobs back to San Francisco. Outside of San Francisco there is not much room for advancement.

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Leader in 2D AutoCAD, nice offices, good benefits, fair comp, customers have to use their software, strong sales support, descent 401K match.

      Cons

      Struggling to remain relevant, business model in constant flux, striving (and thus far, failing) to become a customer-first organization, cloud solutions lag behind on premise, weak sales leadership, frequent lay offs to counter poor earnings, and low-energy sales culture.

      Turbulent organization with limited promotion opportunity

      Senior manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Autodesk is truly working on software to help customers design and create a better world. The examples are all around you. They pay their employees well in compensation and benefits. If you are a designer, artist, engineer-type, you can work on some amazing projects and products.

      Cons

      Major reorganizations every year or so. Working with 4th VP in three years. Hard to establish teams and deliver on mid to large initiatives when accountability shifts so often. If you are not a politician, it can be challenging to move up in the organization. Hard work, intelligence, loyalty, and skill do not always reflect in your title. Don't ever confuse Work/Life Balance with Work/Life Flexibility. Autodesk expects long hours, but does allow you to work them on the weekend, evenings, and early mornings, so you can squeeze in family time when they are awake.
