Pros

You gonna work on good products having great potential. That's it.

1. Hyderabad office is running on lot of favoritism and bad work ethics. 2. Poor work culture. Vision less management, behave like they own the company. 3. Learning would stagnate over period of time.

Losing Its Engineering Roots

Pros

Good snacks. Free food twice a week if you stand in line for 20 minutes. Located above a BART station.

Cons

Highly political. Too many useless meetings. In my organization, our non-technical program management group has taken over. They are hell bent on implementing Agile SCRUM as the solution to all of our problems, real and perceived. It is a sign of a lack of trust in the engineering team to get something done. To make matters worse, it isn't fixing much of anything but we pretend like it is working because politics. I worry some of our agile champions will migrate to other parts of the company after proclaiming success, like a cancer slowly spreading until we have 40 hours of meetings every week. Morale is down and many solid engineers openly daydream about leaving. The former co-CEO was considered an engineering guy and left - or was forced out - when he lost the CEO race. Current CEO is a nice guy but he was promoted from Chief Marketing Officer, further proving who calls the real shots at Autodesk. Hint: it's not the engineers anymore. I can only give my perspective. The internal Autodesk Pulse surveys show a workforce of mostly happy people. It's hard to reconcile the positive survey results with the general atmosphere of my group.
