Pros

Autodesk is a global company with growing market share around the world. It has been consistently rated high in "best places to work" lists, and employees have a voice and are listened to by management. Experience and design are central to our mission, and there are opportunities in consumer-facing teams (iOS, Instructables) as well as professional markets (Architecture/Engineering, Product Design, Simulation) - there are even new groups working on 3D design tools for genetics and biotech.

Cons

Engineering-driven culture, but this is starting to change as cloud/social/mobile and "experience" play an increasing role in the company's goals.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great people, love the benefits (including a 6 week sabbatical after 4 years), diverse solution portfolio which allows for many options to move within the company. Excellent technology, often best of breed in the industry.

Cons

Very political in nature, seemingly endless reorgs, and sometimes product development seems to take much longer than usual. Very siloed as a company which can be a challenge to get things done. Names change so much, with acronyms, there is an "Autodesk dictionary" to keep track.
