Pros

Well, I think this company can provide you good salary. The house fund is great, too. The working environment is also very good. The company in Pudong live in a park, far from the annoying road but still convenient. And the work burden is low. You don't need to come on time every day. If you have some personal issues, be free to tell your boss and you can get some paid vacations.

Cons

Although this company provides relative high salaries for the engineers at first, the salaries will increase very slowly in the following years. At first, you will find that your salary is higher than the employees in other companies, but later you find they have more money. Almost no bonus for the good-performing team.

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.
