      Pros

      Competitive Pay Some divisions are very successful cad/ plant manufacturing software/ mechanical construction software - all do really well Great office locations globally Bass was great live and one on one Company disposition regarding sustainability is admirable and sensible Clever competitive licensing models still ahead of their time Fantastic medical plan Strong finance teams Financial strength - can exert tremendous energy at any opportunity or issue when so desired Early internal education and training was great - interviewing within the law/hiring within the law super valuable

      Cons

      Orwellian forced personality testing (Meyers Briggs) you WILL comply Rotating door of managers ( 15-20 in 15 years) one can't really make a plan and work it before another manager appears Short term senior sales management taking years of revenue off the table in one deal then moving to a diff division- tough luck next year - not my problem Senior managers are ultra political and you aren't part of the group Stack ranking with a heap of good old boy games thrown in ( when I was there) No real resolve for international ownership of accounts - like working at 4 separate companies Mandatory education in a vertical you don't work for isn't helpful its indoctrination. Education unrecognized by HR records isn't helpful if you ever move on Temporary amnesia at year end, and quarterly forgetfulness happen regularly Piracy dept varies dramatically from keystone cops to pretty good Work life balance - out of balance

      Pros

      Autodesk has been a very comfortable place to work for. Good benefit, good work life balance. Friendly co-workers. Solving interesting and challenging problems. Good products. Still get some good engineers around.

      Cons

      Very political place. Little growth. Incapable middle management. Unable to attract and retain top talents. Weak execution. Compensation on the low end of market.
