Pros

Great people to work with. Stable company.

Cons

Lots of evening meetings makes work-life balance with family very difficult and leads to burnout. If you do not work on the "shiny" products, your career goes nowhere.

Cliques. Totally home based. No opportunity to meet people in person.

Business Outlook

Pros

You work with lots of smart colleagues at Autodesk Consulting. Also work with big name clients. There is an Ethics Compliance Hotline. Business as a whole is doing great.

Cons

The DMs and PMs under Autodesk consulting are doorkeepers. The DMs and PMs block the business growth opportunities by using all kinds of excuses. Tired of the DMs and PMs' performative but hollow statements, since the DMs and PMs do not have any solid technical outputs to provide. Meanwhile the DMs and PMs do not allow tech consultants to meet clients in person for business developments. Full of bureaucracy dealing with the DMs and PMs. Even for project related travels, they are made too complicated to happen. There is a lack of trust between director management and the consultants.
