Pros

Work life balance. ESPP. 401k. Annual health stipend for physical or mental health.

Cons

Org misalignment (AE's & SDR's do not have similar goals despite what they say) Comp-plans are always delayed. Every. Single. Year. Recoverable draws are put in place at the beginning of every FY. Leadership plays favoritism too much. High turnover at multiple levels. From SDR's to AE's to Managers, to Sr. Leaders (after they've vested stock anyway). If you're under paid for your role based on old market data, you will not get the appropriate increase unless you threaten to leave. People get promoted without being qualified, but then also do not receive the proper training/mentorship to be successful. It's a crap shoot if you get a decent manager to nurture you.

Pros

Great culture worldwide, excellent training programs, excellent benefits, you can reach out to anyone at Autodesk easily

Cons

If you entered in a junior role it's very hard to become a manager, it's better to leave and then come back again. Some offices has very bad culture and toxic environment and unexperinced managers, always check the office you have an interest working in before joining
