Pros

Great people, opportunity to use a great workshop

Cons

It's operated completely in a different way in some group. In the group I was in, middle management decided that we have to be on-site Monday through Friday.

Thanks for this feedback. I work closely with the leaders of the social media and PR team and can understand where you're coming from. PR works in "sprints" where we focus communication on a particular topic. Right now, it's making. It is valuable to hear that you think the focus might be too much on the topic considering as a company we do so much more! In terms of working from home, the company doesn't have a formalized policy on it. Each department is different and many have very flexible attitudes towards when and where you work. Good luck out there, thanks again for taking the time to provide your thoughts.

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.
