Pros

Decent healthcare benefits (United PPO is an option), somewhat lax depending on team, deadlines can be pushed back indefinitely.

Cons

Everyone is trying to take as much away from this company as possible, "you don't owe them anything, take everything you can" is repeated pretty high up. Even the people not very high on the totem pole are flying around everywhere in first class. Some people here work an entirely different full time job and are collecting two salaries. The culture is completely broken, no one is doing anything.

Business Outlook

Pros

The solutions and industry are interesting, and the projects as well as conversations with clients are highly engaging. The company places a strong emphasis on fostering an inclusive culture, and the many events organized make it a very pleasant and enjoyable work environment.

Cons

The strategy, both indirect (through partners) and direct (transactional)—creates confusion for both customers and employees. It’s often easier for someone external to get a job at the company, or you need to navigate internal politics by being visible and building relationships with managers. The salary packages are not very competitive, although the stock options help make the overall compensation more attractive. Autodesk recently underwent a round of layoffs, which has impacted the company's reputation to some extent
