      Pros

      Great benefits, ability to buy stock,

      Cons

      Had a surreal experience working here. Started great and then they let my manager go and hired his subordinate to take over who was a narcissist with no management experience. He ended up working my team like a sweatshop. I blew the whistle, complained, spoke with HR all to no avail. They could not believe what I was saying was true. It was t until I was physically and mentally broken from the abuse of power of this man, that they realized what this man was doing, and they finally fired him. I was approved for Social Security Disability benefits thankfully, but this company had no compassion whatsoever. I had to hire an attorney to keep me employed and then to work out a severance package. Horrible experience.

      Sounds like you feel you had a horrible experience. That’s the exact opposite of everything we try to do for our employees. There are always two sides to every story, but no matter what, that is clearly not what we hope for. There are a number of ways employees can voice their concerns ranging from talking with anyone on the management or HR team or reporting an issue through the hotline. If you’d like to share additional thoughts and suggestions on what we could do to address your concerns, we encourage you to reach out to us directly. Thanks for sharing your feedback.

      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.
