Pros

Flexible work schedule, work from home, great company mission, smart people, generous salary and benefits.

Cons

Too many layers of middle management. It's getting more corporate and rigid; the company's marketing of itself is getting flashier and less genuine; its product is becoming less interesting and the company mission is fading. It takes forever to get anything done. Lack of clarity in chain of command and in who makes decisions. There are a lot of people who don't appear to do anything other than sit in meetings and write emails and produce horrific boring powerpoints. Very little career opportunity for advancement.

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.
