Autodesk reviews

Relevant for the TLV office and BIM group. While the interview process was quick, nice, with many smiles (although the team lead was lacking serious tech knowledge), I soon realized after starting there that it was all just a big fake show. literally my worst career decision. After stepping in I soon realized that there is no management, no clear product future or tasks to work on, and most of the effort is just to put on a show to the american managers. Other employees said that this is the best place to past the time and real managers are actually in the US and have no idea what really happens here. All the nice smiles during the interview from the HR and managers changed to just ignoring me and others and nobody cared that nothing is being done (work wise) and that everyone just faking it. Once I realized how it really works there, which was completely different(!) from what was presented during the interview, I started looking for a new place and left few months later. Thankfully. Unfortunately I read the reviews here only after I joined, it could have saved me a lot of time and efforts to avoid this rat hole!! Take my advice, don't do this to yourself.

Strategy changes every several months, instability, insecurity. Projects get stopped mid-way to change direction; frequent re-orgs; layoffs > low morale. Too many management layers. Often managers are not co-located with the team. Lots of politics, favoritism. No sense of doing something useful and meaningful as quite likely your project or even the entire product will be killed, because it does not fit this month's company strategy.
