Pros

Fantastic products and company strategy and direction are inspiring! Excellent work/life balance and people are smart, talented and respectful. It's a dynamic, global company with tremendous opportunities to challenge yourself and grow. Great office environments and benefits are outstanding! The executive team is intelligent and down to earth.

Cons

Performance needs to be dealt with more aggressively as there are some people who are not meeting the current bar of performance. Global company means meetings at odd times but the flexible work environment enables you to work around this so you're not working 24 hours a day!

Pros

Very smart engineering team that strives for high quality code and product dev, including attention to detail, clean well-architected code, and taking the time to do it right, instead of rushing something out the door. Both the head of engineering and lead architect are always willing to listen to feedback and take other peoples ideas into consideration. Free drinks and snacks.

Cons

Demanding work environment that may not fit the typical 9-5 lifestyle. Low tolerance for imperfection or sloppy coding. Very little in the way of fun company activities.

Pros

I've worked for Autodesk for almost seven years. I worked for four other employers previously; non-profit, for-profit, Fortune 50, high-tech, no-tech, ect. This is the best of them all and I'm not thinking about leaving. Autodesk has the benefits of an established company in a fast-paced and innovative industry. It is truly a global company with equal amounts of revenue coming from AMER, EMEA and APAC. It is a good company; kind to the environment, fair to employees and contributes positively to the communities where it is located. Carl Bass, the CEO, socializes with employees, especially on a field, track or court.

Cons

Often long and odd hours; calls at 10:00 pm and 6:00 am. People get in here and stay, so you really have to impress to get ahead. Poor performers are not always dealt with so you have to work around them.
