      Great mission and environment

      Pros

      One of the best things I found in the company didn't really occur to me before I got in. The mission of the company, to build quality software, tools and even frameworks for today's industry is something rewarding to be part of. They really take care of their employees in terms of benefits, I have nothing to complain about and the environment is just great. I had the chance to experience many ways of working with sit/stand desks, treadmill desks, couches all over the place and many resources to make your work environment comfortable. Socially is also a good environment and management and H.R. often promote activities that help you integrate and get to know very well your colleagues. Most people are highly creative and friendly.

      Cons

      Due to the size and complexity of the organization, getting anything done paperwork-wise often involves external companies that due to the scale that they operate, hardly makes it an easy process to you. Fortunately it's only hassle every few months.

      Great company - Needs to overcome constraints as it scales

      Pros

      Culture Very human, personable culture. What this means in practice is, if you are trying to get stuff done, there is an open door policy and *for the most part* senior folk don't tend think or act in a hierarchical way (there are always some though). For my role this meant getting executive buy in wasn't difficult. Work environment Autodesk is one of the few companies who have managed to truly integrate the culture, meaning and philosophy of their brand and what they stand for, into the facilities and work environment. All of the primary offices are beautifully conceived. The workplace environment is well thought out, promoting open working, hot design with ample call booth and meeting rooms to hop into. The San Francisco (1 Market) office is probably one of the best offices in the world of any company. Compensation Pretty competitive for the most part. Lagging some areas in enterprise sales reps vs the market. The people See "Culture" above. Great people at Autodesk with very long tenure. Vision "The internet of things" means this is Autodesk's time.

      Cons

      There really aren't many cons with Autodesk. I loved my time there. There's some things I think the company needs to do (see below).

      Decent company

      Pros

      Mature tech company so they are not crazy with the hours and have good processes in place for doing things and getting things done. Management is doing a good job of moving into the company to virtual space and staying very competitive.

      Cons

      Pace is getting faster and faster as Autodesk feels the need to innovate and keep current with virtual technology. They are trying to do so by outsourcing like crazy and keeping full time staff to a minimum, so work is getting faster and harder.
