Pros

Relaxed work style, room to work on pet projects, at least in some locations salaries way above market average (Switzerland)

Cons

Complacency and lack of innovation, internal politics, lack of fresh blood (high salaries and other aspects of Autodesk's culture lead to low natural attrition) and few internal growth opportunities, skills often little valued and not much incentives to develop new ones, nepotism pretty widespread.

Pros

It is a great environment for highly motivated individuals. Autodesk provides excellent growth opportunities. Careers at Autodesk are very rewarding.

Cons

In some cases the opportunities and the compensation drive you to go the extra mile. While not a con, it can detract from work/life balance.
