Massively impactful/interesting work, overly complex company structure

Director

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Autodesk builds some of the most impactful software in the world and has massive potential to support customers in realizing a more sustainable world. Work from home flexibility is par to none.

Cons

Org structure is extremely complex, even for a company of its size. This holds the team back from realizing our full potential. There is also a huge premium placed on how long you've been at the company, the majority of leadership has been in their role for 15+ years and you either have to be in that cohort or be sponsored by one of them to get much done. That approach leads to a lot of group think and impacts the pace of innovation/change.

Great benefits, secretive management, questionable "culture"

Software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Salary is very good. Health benefits are amazing. Many roles may be had as hybrid and/or remote. Culture code sounds good on paper.

Cons

Manager musical chairs. Managers with a "do as I say, not as I do" (managers and leadership expect individual contributors to adhere to a "culture code" but they do not themselves). Constructive feedback comes as a surprise at review time (once a year). Rare positive feedback throughout the year. No growth path or ways to move laterally; you are stuck for years in a role unless the organization changes you to another role. People that have no business being managers are made managers but people that express desire to get there are ignored. Managers are terrible people managers because they are expected to do other things as well - and those other things are what give them "visibility".
