Pros

Decent pay, nice benefits. California offices are really nice. Internally they're trying to "Googlefy" themselves and it's showing, but to be honest it seems kind of pointless.

Cons

Seems to be a lack of engagement with management. Career path not really obvious. The company's way of innovation is by acquiring more startups. I don't think that's good for the long-term. The stocks and fiscal reports reflect that.

Pros

Smart company at the top, they offer good software, some of us get to work from home

Cons

Depends very much upon what you may do. Autodesk Consulting is a backwater of the country and has poor management in the delivery area. It is chaotic with almost no stability. As a project manager in this area, expect that yes, you can often work from home, and yes, you get paid pretty well, but also yes, you will be stressed out, yes, you will be overloaded with process, and yes, you will be given expectations that are nearly impossible to meet given poor systems and poor upper level management. Not much for promotion opportunities either as a project manager, and many of the project managers are forced to spend their time on internal processes and accounting processes much more than actually managing projects. Also, expect many people with small jobs and big attitudes including project accountants.

Pros

- very flexible work arrangements - amazing customers - great technology - lots of interesting places to move to in the company if you are driven to get them.

Cons

- the entertainment division is rife with politics at the top levels. - Many dubious decisions based more on personal agendas then what's best for products or customers - the general feeling for many employees in the montreal office is that its a toxic environment.
