Not bad, but definitely room for improvement.

Pros

Good pay, generally good people and atmosphere, open to flexible working and locations.

Cons

Still US-centric company if you want to advance in your career. HR seems weak - individual has to manage their career path with little help from others. Politics do sometimes get in the way to doing great work.

Pros

Benefits, surely. Women valued, not pushed aside. Can take occasional afternoon off to catch the kids' afterschool events, which is perhaps the best reason to continue here these days.

Cons

Low-level management can be petty. Great employees let go because didn't play kiss-up games. Have seen valued colleagues get the shaft over the years for refusing to do manager's work. Makes for a vicious work environment. When will my turn come? Hear this little ditty all the time.

Pros

Benefits are great at Autodesk. You can even bring your dog to work!

Cons

Takes forever to get anything done. There are lot of layers for approvals on the littlest items causing lots of frustrations. Not clear on the decisions made by upper management. Smar, quality people are leaving or either being let go. To many layers of Sr Management making me just a peon.
