Pros

wicked parties. Travelling to various conferences was a great time. Rewarding work and felt valued by all levels of staff.

Cons

it is difficult to think of many cons. Perhaps the downtown location is offputting for some but with all the transportation options it's easier than driving on the highway to mississuaga or something.

Pros

The initial pay package isn't too bad, just only that you will be stuck very much to that amount as there isn't much bonus or increments to expect in the next years due to the management's cost cutting.

Cons

The management lacked transparency, covered up lots of information, did not honestly communicate to people on the floor. For every end of quarter, staff were required to work plenty of unpaid overtime hours, sometimes on weekends as well. No compensation was given for unpaid OT whatsoever, and while we needed to meet the quota for productivity, we were piled on with volunteer projects which we needed to work on after work hours.

Thank you for providing us this feedback. I'm sorry to hear about your experience, particularly with the overtime. I want to provide you with the opportunity to reach out to HR about the issue. Autodesk has a 3rd party service in place that you can use to talk about workplace issues such as work hours and provide feedback anonymously (855-822-9535). Another option would be to contact your HR business partner. I have passed along this review to the appropriate HR leadership.

Pros

Innovative company focused on building a better world. People are treated with respect and rewarded for performance.

Cons

The transition from a desktop software company to a service based company is going to be difficult. What built Autodesk of the past is not the solution for the future.
