Good pay and benefits, but poor visibility unless you work in the US

Pros

Autodesk pays reasonably well and has good benefits, such as the employee stock program and pension plan. It is an interesting place to work with some very clever and engaging people (although, be prepared to work with people who get by without merit, too). The software and technology that Autodesk creates leads industries and is a big enabler for innovative creation in the world. When you think about the fact that you are part of that, it is pretty special.

Cons

Unless you work in the US your chances of meaningful corporate progression are poor. Travel budget for teams outside of sales is minimal so the opportunity to get in front of senior managers or influential leaders is much more difficult for people that live in Europe. You have to really really hard to make sure business leaders even know your name. Additionally, if you work in Europe and spend time working with US employees, be prepared for a poor work/life balance. You will get nothing done if you don't make yourself flexible to CA, and if you get nothing done you don't get noticed, leading us back to the point above. Finally, training is practically none-existent. I feel like I've actually lost skills since I have been here due to having to learn how to manage the corporate climate over real strategy and marketing.
