Pros

Nice and talented coworkers and teams. I liked my team.

Cons

No WLB & no team building any more on my team. (Sometimes, I had to work from 9am to 12am, 15hrs in total in a day. Note: I was experienced on the team.) More and more work, and tight deadlines. Autodesk prefers not to hire people in the USA, because they want to save money. Many jobs are moved to India, Canada, etc. (Cheaper countries) I was working in Finance before layoffs. There were lots of politics. I saw something happened several times. -- If you got a new manager, be careful that you may be managed out/laid off in a few months by your new manager. Management likes to bring their people/friends into the company. Don't trust the management 100%.

Pros

The individual contributors, your peers you work with day in and day out are fantastic people! At the IC level, for the most part, it feels like everyone is in the fight together. The work/life balance is good depending on which business unit/team you're aligned with. The benefits are pretty solid, especially the 6 week sabbatical.

Cons

Autodesk moves at the pace of a snail, very slow to take action on anything. Selling is very difficult with all the undocumented approvals, processes, red tape and very few people are willing to actually help! Leadership doesn't care about the people their decisions impact. Feedback is rarely listened to and acted upon. Pay is terrible compared to competitors in this space. Autodesk has embraced a ton of change over the last few years with new marketing, sales and IT leadership and it shows. They are not shy in showing their desire to be the next Oracle at the expense of their people. They are constantly changing tools, processes, people, roles, you name it so you feel like you're under water constantly. Lipstick on a pig.
