Pros

Good benefits Salary until now has been decent but that is changing massively this year to unachievable targets.

Cons

They are changing the comp structure to be pretty unattainable. Even if you do well you are always at risk, and there is so much drama and politics all the time. Even if you do well, you are constantly being judged and have to be fake in order to survive. Constant performance reviews which creates a 'throw each other under the buss' culture because people are scared. You have to travel all the time and you can't really say no. Constant leadership changes. It takes forever to make changes that leads to efficiency gains.

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.
