Pros

best reason to work here is because bart is closer to office

Cons

(1) low traffic estore...no big technical challenges... (2) low salaries compared to market in SF. (3) lot of politics in the store side...all you need to do is show-off... take my words... who ever works diligently will not grow here... who ever show off and pretend that they are doing something will grow... you don't have to complete what you have started but you just need to do it in a fancy way that's it...no quality required or no definition of done...if you do this way, you are favorite to your manager.. why? because manager can show off this to their upper level... (4) no proper direction for the management and no body cares about the customer in the ecommerce team...everyone codes but no one troubleshoots :)

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.
