Pros

* Benefits were pretty good * Work from home (with occasional team meetups)

Cons

Honestly, one of the worst experiences I have ever had in my professional career. Cliques only look out for their own and shun anyone that is deemed a "have-not." If you are, you are setup for failure and they dangle things in front of you to keep you going. Career advancement is not a thing in any way, shape, or form provided you're a have-not. Not only that, they will flat out lie to you to your face about anything. I can't believe I let myself be strung along and led on for 2 years and just accepted it. Look elsewhere!

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.
