Pros

Opportunities exist everywhere as long as you establish a track record. You have to come in strong to get that necessary foothold. The career path is not clearly defined, but the opportunities exist. Flex time Sabbaticals

Cons

Management issues - leaders aren't held to the right standard and the impacts it has on teams is not considered enough. Passing a test to be a director doesn't prove you are right for the company. Some measurement is needed. Vacation time is limited so you have to plan your extra time off at the Christmas holiday.

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.
