Pros

Just like at any other large company, if you have a great boss and a great team then you are set. They pay average. There are many smart people here who will challenge you. You will have the opportunity to work with a global team.

Cons

If you aren't then you should heed warning. If your VP is in another city then insist on visiting often- you can be out of sight/ out of mind. PMMs are often overloaded. There is no feature overlap/ portfolio rationalization. If we see Adobe being successful at suites then we have a mandate to immediately start selling suite. It feels like a stale software company. IMHO the company is way too polite- colleagues don't challenge one another enough.

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.
