      Weak Culture, Weak Leaders, Bad for Women

      Pros

      Autodesk has a few great, market leading products. Some projects are interesting. Family friendly and good work-life balance even though some people abuse it.

      Cons

      Most senior leaders have been there forever. Many are weak. Failed to scale as company grew up but refuse to leave or step aside. Middle management is full of politicians who get ahead by kissing up. It is a difficult culture for anyone to grow in, but especially for women leaders. HR is useless and only exists to protect the executives. That's what happened in IT, where the head of the division protected all his male buddies while seeing woman after woman punished, demoted or put on a plan out. It's ok though, we all moved on and Autodesk has the IT group it deserves now.

      Thanks for the note, I appreciate the feedback. Diversity is certainly in the zeitgeist in the Bay and beyond -- the company is committed to improving our diversity mix and is in the process of hiring a director of diversity. Affinity groups like AWIL (Women in Leadership) and Autodesk Pride are gaining cache and attention of the C Suite. Great changes are in the wind. I'd love to hear more about your particular experience if you'd be willing to connect offline. -andrew.levy@autodesk.com

      Pros

      Dynamic forward looking company making software tools for the future. Coworkers are the smartest people I've ever worked with and are passionate about our mission.

      Cons

      Large corporation that grows primarily by acquisition. This and due to making a wide range of products tends to create cultural silos in the company.

      Good culture for a massive organization

      Pros

      Autodesk was always looking for ways to expose their incredible technology to the interns, inside and outside of their respective departments.

      Cons

      We still felt the obsolete pains of a traditional corporation, from lack of meaningful partnerships to the outdated timesheet services.
