Autodesk reviews

In the sales org, you are held to weekly call metrics and activity reporting. If you come from a consultative environment and are used to managing your own schedule, it feels like a step back. There is more micromanagement than you would expect, primarily for the benefit of the bureaucracy. The sales management comes from a PC software sales environment instead of enterprise solutions environment, so the management model follows. Understand what you are signing up for as they make it sound like you are going to a solution sales company in the interview process.... There are a lot of cliques among the people who have been in place for years. Not that they will be outwardly hostile to new hires, but you kind of feel like you are not a full fledged member of the club.

Silos and politics are really painful. Organisational overhead is particularly significant. Significant layoffs almost every year. Waterfall-ish despite claims to be Agile. Entitlement and job preservation are often the main factor for decisions.
