Autodesk is No.1 company in Graphic Area in the world. Peopel can work as more important member, do more important things compare to other foreign companies in China. The hardware of work environment is great here. Can gain more career opportunities in Autodesk. Benifits are good than other company in China.

Cons

Communication b/t Divisions are not good enough. Resource cross divisions are hard to be reused. Every Division has its own process, development skills, and knowledge sharing is not enough b/t divisions. Employee quality is a big problem after purchase HSL. Salary are Competitive enough compare to the Influence of Autodesk in China.

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.
