Pros

- Work/life balance - Great people on the ground who care about their work and the people around them - Management can be good depending on your organization - We were well supported during the pandemic

Cons

- Constant re-organization of departments with little insights or transparency into how it impacts the teams getting moved around - Leadership above the people managers do not care about employees in any meaningful way - There is a lot of lip service from the C staff around valuing teams and people that does not translate into day-to-day life at Autodesk - People managers are not able to effectively reward team members who work hard - Promotions are slow to come, if at all - Lack of clear direction on how to grow and improve or move to a new team - Leadership is always turning over and with each new leader comes a change of direction which leaves employees feeling unsure of what we're actually doing - The company uses a lot of legacy software or overly customized software that can make simple tasks challenging to complete - Each purchase of a new company leads to splintered off business practices that don't integrate well with already existing systems and processes

Pros

Lotts of great benefits. Timelines for work are not too insane. People are pretty chill.

Cons

Mass firings are the norm almost every 3 years they will fire 200 people easily within a day

Thank you for your candid feedback. Though reorganizations and changes are inevitable in our industry, we recognize that some of these changes impact our employees. However, we encourage all employees to have regular, ongoing communications with their managers to help achieve their career aspirations. Autodesk is continually evolving and looking to put our most talented people in positions to achieve our goals. Whenever possible, we look at our internal talent prior to recruiting outside. If a company decision impacts an employee, industry-leading help and services are provided to employees free of charge to help them transition. We hope this helps to provide some clarity around some of the changes!
