Pros

Look at our stock price! Stable company with modern software and bright future. This is the first company in my 20 years in corporate America where they actually live their values and focus on listening at the micro level to employees. The Denver office has a truly collaborative feel. People are just nice here, and that says a lot when we are talking about 200 people in this office. Located one block from Union Station, the office is really beautiful and we all have stand-up sit-down desks. Autodesk funds some nice employee-related activities, some that are fun but also those that give back to the community. Also, who offers a SIX WEEK paid sabbatical (after 4 years) - this is an amazing benefit! There's also a huge emphasis on employee referrals, and the payout is VERY generous.

Cons

I don't experience this personally but I hear there is a lack of promotion opportunities for employees in more junior positions. However if you want to make a move laterally and try something new, this is the place for you. The Denver office has a lot of other businesses in this location so it's a place to come and stay (it just made not include a salary increase). Working from home is not an option, unlike other Autodesk offices.

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.
