Pros

Great culture. Smart, well-intentioned people. True "feedback culture". Excellent compensation and benefits. Excellent physical facilities. Leader in selling design tools and software to building designers, construction firms, architects, and companies who "Make Things". Specialist in small and medium businesses ~ that is where we excel. Leader in cloud solutions. Extremely stable senior leadership who wants to know what you think.

Cons

Business is business ~ it is not personal. Performance, as an individual and a team, is taken extremely seriously, and this can be harsh. Quite a bit of change ~ verging on too much. Some do not like the "San Francisco centricity" of the corporation ~ it can feel more like "California is the world" rather than "we are a global company".

Pros

This company is amazing! When you start you get a decent sized home office stipend but the on going benefits are great as well, including but not limited to a monthly WiFi reimbursement, a yearly wellness reimbursement, the option to work from a foreign country for up to a month a year, stock options, and much more! Aside from that, all the people I’ve worked with thus far are so easy to get along with and everyone truly pulls their weight.

Cons

Like any large company, there are occasional layoffs,

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.
