      Pros

      Good benefits, exciting and innovative changes happening with their products and solutions now. Some really great management who will really help you develop - depends on group and location.

      Cons

      Depends in which group you work for, can seem like completely different company. A lot of lip service and discussion time to development but real growth and opportunity only available to some in reality. All groups and divisions claim they are global but there is a lot of contraction now, hiring only in Bay area, young people lower payscales who don't have a lot of experience or skills. A lot of people with deep knowledge and experience - and higher paygrades - purged. Some VPs surround themselves with 'yes' men/women.

      I'm sorry that you're had this experience. I can assure you that we pride ourselves on fair hiring practices with regards to all protected classes (age included) but it's important for us to be aware if employees feel otherwise. Autodesk has a 3rd party service in place that you can use to talk about workplace issues and provide feedback anonymously (855-822-9535). Another option would be to contact your HR business partner. I have passed along this review to the appropriate HR leadership.

      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.
