      Little accountability for leadership behaviors

      Pros

      Good benefits, convenient office locations.

      Cons

      This is a good company whose products support many different aspects of modern society. Unfortunately, there is little to no accountability for how the work gets done or how leaders behave in the process. For example, in the communications department, bullying and intimidation is common. The leaders throw tantrums, yell, make public negative comments about employees and if they complain, they may be on the wrong end of covert intimidation. The most confusing thing is that this department reports up to human resources. This doesn't give the rest of us much hope that anything will be done if similar concerns are raised. If you happen to get a good manager then your experience at Autodesk might be a positive one, operative word being "if".

      Depends on where you are

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great people to work with. Stable company.

      Cons

      Lots of evening meetings makes work-life balance with family very difficult and leads to burnout. If you do not work on the "shiny" products, your career goes nowhere.

      Cliques. Totally home based. No opportunity to meet people in person.

      Pros

      You work with lots of smart colleagues at Autodesk Consulting. Also work with big name clients. There is an Ethics Compliance Hotline. Business as a whole is doing great.

      Cons

      The DMs and PMs under Autodesk consulting are doorkeepers. The DMs and PMs block the business growth opportunities by using all kinds of excuses. Tired of the DMs and PMs' performative but hollow statements, since the DMs and PMs do not have any solid technical outputs to provide. Meanwhile the DMs and PMs do not allow tech consultants to meet clients in person for business developments. Full of bureaucracy dealing with the DMs and PMs. Even for project related travels, they are made too complicated to happen. There is a lack of trust between director management and the consultants.
