Business Outlook

Pros

Management is a discipline at Autodesk. Leadership training is rigorous and strong, but you should buy into the leadership model if you want to reach Director/above.

Cons

Slow to change and make clear decisions because they don’t have much incentive to given the market dominance of several marquee products. Agile with waterfall process mixed in. Politics rampant with senior management always waging territory wars and executives not relying on the right senior managers to influence decision making or achieve objectives. Top talent leaves, and middling talent rises.
