Pros
Not much work assigned as people are too old in the organization to work. Work Life balance is top class. Disability leave pays 67% of base salary , so most people taking that for a year. Awesome idea to survive layoff and to look for a new job.
Cons
No salary hikes, work is crap, very less annual bonus, useless junk managers always sucking up to their managers. The company currently has more managers and QA than developers. In fact most dev managers in US have one or two managers in Asia reporting to them. The company is offshoring all the work to Shanghai and Singapore at a very fast rate as their cloud products have failed miserably. Few wrong people have taken over the board and killing the tech culture at Autodesk. The CEO Carl Bass was all set to be sacked but then he resigned from CEO position last month and there are no CEO for the company for the time being, as the two interim CEO who are SVPs are fighting it out.
