      Business Outlook

      Pros

      * Management is supportive but not as liberal as they make it to be... * Helpful coworkers * Good paymaster * 2010 & 2011 has been good for Autodesk with acquisitions and leveraging the "cloud"

      Cons

      * The Singapore office isn't as liberal to say working from home * The folks in the Singapore office are not skilled in leveraging open source technologies, adopting that mindset is hard * Folks lack modern software engineering practices but they do try to adopt though change is slow coming * Folks lack PASSSION - it's just a day job to them. * Most of the interesting work is carried out in the US - i question the value of the satelite offices...

      Pros

      .Very interesting and relevant technology. .People you work with directly are smart, dedicated and competent. .Good benefits. Flexible about working from home. .Sabbaticals in US every four years. .Opportunities for travel.

      Cons

      .If you work on revenue-generating products, you work very long hours, nights and weekends. Very little work/life balance. Those who don't work on products appear to have a good work/life balance. .Acquisitions are not well integrated. .If you don't work at headquarters, communication is spotty. .Every January before the start of the fiscal year in February there are layoffs, also in April/May after products have been released. .The company can be too AutoCAD centric, considering the diverse set of products it releases and all the acquisitions it has made. .Vision and strategy seem to be lacking. .Ineffective HR Dept. .There's a forced ranking system to match a bell curve, whereby 10% of employees every year are told they didn't do their jobs, regardless of whether they met their objectives or had a good mid-year review.

      My experience with Autodesk was a good one.

      Pros

      Strong company, good salary/commission structure & benefits, they are strong on continuing education training/seminars for their sales people.

      Cons

      Sometimes management would "make it hard to take a customer's money" because there were so many rules and regulations to follow in order to complete the sale.
