Pros

Tons of interesting work. Very busy dependent on the group you work in. There is a lot of room to bring forth and execute on ideas. Managers are nice and care about employees.

Cons

Sometimes you find yourself taking work home. Not sure if this is a con, or more of a result of being so interested in the work.

Pros

Autodesk has amazing products! Software that let's designers, architects, engineers, etc. do awesome things. Many people have never heard of the company but know their products like AutoCAD. The culture of the company is one that values their employees. They do barbecues at some of their offices. People can take their dogs to work. They are big on employee development and give lots of opportunity for personal and professional growth. They encourage community involvement! The pay and benefits were great!

Cons

They grew very quickly while I was there and hired lots of people in my division. When the recession hit, they needed to quickly cut back on employees and laid off 750 in the first round of layoffs and about 400 more a few months later.
