Pros

I worked from home so take my review with a grain of salt. The pay is good, the benefits are fantastic, and working from home really is a game changer. Most of my coworkers were friendly as well, at least as friendly as you can be over skype.

Cons

A lot of the self improvement initiatives that Autodesk offers are really only available in person so unless you live near one of their major offices, mainly their West coast office in the US, you won't have access to those opportunities. The inter-department communication could be better as I saw a fair bit of inefficiencies arise from a lack of shared goals between teams and thus dependencies across teams resulted in bottlenecks.

Pros

Great work life balance. Reasonable sales management exec team. Decent pay, great benefits. Six week sabbatical every 4 years. Great technology in many areas.

Cons

Sometimes exec sales looks at short term revenue goals, rather than looking at the long run (normal at a public company). Product dev/management could get some offerings out sooner.
