Pros

Autodesk is a company with a real purpose, and really puts its money where its mouth is with regards to its purpose. The work life balance is as great as it is rumored to be. It can be exciting when you're on a team that is focused, as the colleagues are some of the greatest in any industry.

Cons

Constant reorganizations cause a lack of momentum and the politics can be thick. Because this org is so engineering led, they are falling behind in terms of the innovation that could be happening if they were more design-led. But leadership doesn't understand the role of design. Career opportunities are unevenly distributed - certain orgs are much harder to advance than others. Agile practice is a mess - some groups are great, others don't know agile from a hole in the ground.

Pros

Very smart people, great product, great vision for the future

Cons

Some female managers including myself had some troubling issues that were ignored. There was a bullying culture that really hampered ideas and growth at times. Also, some really nice junior people turned into awful people because they saw the kind of behavior that got others ahead.

Pros

Work-life balance, health insurance, a lot of pro-remote roles.

Cons

bureaucratic, political, promotions can take years, the pay is below average. If you don't suck up to leadership you won't get a seat at the table, adequately compensated, or promoted. This company is for lifers that want to coast and benefit from the work of their direct reports. They don't allow anyone to challenge their status quo. It's not a good culture for ambitious people who want to be challenged and grow.
