      Needs a management purge

      Pros

      Great benefits, some smart people and some great teams to work with if you're lucky. Is an understanding company for a working parent. Cool legacy products and devoted customers!

      Cons

      Management has become horrific in some teams. There is no "holocracy" here! Since managers can't lead and inspire by their vision and personality, in some teams managers are encouraged to tell their people in every 1-1 if they would hire them again. This is from some "management guru" being brought in (at significant expense i'm sure) to advise the Autodesk corporation on how to make a turn around and become a more innovative company. Regular intimidations of the programmers in an attempt to appear modern and innovative shows lack of integrity that seems to pervade the middle management at this company.

      Pros

      Great people, Great products, in my estimation the best development company on the planet.,

      Cons

      If you have put in over 20 years of service don't expect to be around much longer. Autodesk disdains experience in their own organization, but jumps at any hire from a competitor thinking they hold the key to success. Long term planning means >12 mos. The company easily tires of new initiatives, fast! Reality is not recognized at Autodesk. Perception guides everything at the company. Autodesk will tell you they are a leader in the manufacturing space. Nothing could be further from the truth. Autodesk is an also-ran, and barely a thought at the biggest and best manufacturers. Yet, they spent years telling employees and customers they were leading. Self delusion is not a corporate virtue!

      Love my team, hate my salary

      Pros

      I absolutely love my team, the office's location, and my manager. Autodesk is pretty relax with my hours (ill come in between 9 and 10:30), and usually allow me to work from home if I want to travel.

      Cons

      I believe I am being under paid. I understand that I have less than one year of experience but as an average salary for a developer in San Francisco, I believe I am on the extreme low end.
