Pros

Remote Work and unlimited Vacation option, so the day to day could be structured well.

Cons

Autodesk’s culture feels increasingly fake, driven by leadership that seems blind to the toxic environment they’ve created over the years. Every year, employees are laid off regardless of performance. Leadership repeatedly claims layoffs aren’t an annual occurrence—then a few months later, another thousand people are let go. Their standard line is, “We can’t guarantee that the business won’t make changes for the betterment of certain operations.” Sure, everyone understands that businesses evolve, but laying off thousands of people twice in one year goes far beyond normal adjustments. The CEO insists layoffs aren’t a yearly event at Autodesk, yet they happen twice a year. The message doesn’t match reality. To make matters worse, employees who are laid off get to watch Autodesk continue hiring during the process. Laying people off while actively hiring others sends a terrible message about the company’s culture. It shows a lack of respect and a lack of commitment to the people who helped build the company. Autodesk = bad culture. They’re not “MAKE ANYTHING”—they’re MAKING WORSE for employees.
