Pros

Benefits are good, colleagues are mostly great

Cons

Technical support used to be a great job. Within the past year there have been many changes as they restructure the org, and they have clearly demonstrated that they could not care less about their support staff. The rest of the company gets to work remotely if they choose to, but support specifically has a three day in-office requirement? We are clearly viewed as second class citizens, and no feedback is ever taken into account. Upper management claims they are listening and open to feedback, but all they do is nod and smile and nothing is done. They are regimenting our daily schedules down to the minute with no flexibility and work/life balance is in the toilet. It is also making it impossible to help our customers the way they need and expect help.

Pros

- Autodesk seems to be on track to be on par with the top players in the market with regards to Compensation.

Cons

- A culture of irony. Autodesk has a series of HR policies and programs to make you feel you belonged, but they may lay you off without a single warning, even when you are a high-performer. - Autodesk lays off people while earning a record-high profit during this pandemic. If you are looking for a compassionate company, look elsewhere cause this is not one of them. Some companies lose money during this difficult time and still treat their employees better. - Leaders not knowing what to do with the organization. Series of re-org after re-org. Autodesk likes to promote leaders that are technically capable but have mediocre/poor people management skills. We became guinea pigs for their substandard business decisions.

Pros

Autodesk continues to create great products. Most of the employees want to do what is best for the customer. Autodesk also offers some great perks. It is a great company to work for as a starter company. It can be a fun, positive environment depending on the team you are working for.

Cons

Current CEO is not focused on the customer and is a heroic manager. Employees fear for their jobs with so many reorgs. Decisions made based on keeping their jobs rather than what is best for the company. In the company's quest to look progressive - younger employees are often valued over older individuals with strong company knowledge and skillsets. The pendulum can often swing dramatically regarding company focus to the detriment of the most valuable products. Some of the best talent has left the company in recent years due to new management. Current CEO doesn't do well with customers.
