Pros

relaxed environment and nice people

Cons

not stimulating job, I have been working for many other companies in sales positions and I find this office very average. It is like a telesales center and nothing else. During the interviews, they tell you that it is the place to develop your career, but it is not. People inside are nice but very average, and it is reflected by the level of the middle management that is unable to develop prople inside the team, instead the are only focused on doing micromanagement.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good work life balance and good benefits, compensation is a little low

Cons

Constant state of restructuring, no job security. Don't leave your current employer for Autodesk they will leave you unemployed and out in the cold... new buzz word around Autodesk is co-location, moving jobs back to San Francisco. Outside of San Francisco there is not much room for advancement.

Cons

Struggling to remain relevant, business model in constant flux, striving (and thus far, failing) to become a customer-first organization, cloud solutions lag behind on premise, weak sales leadership, frequent lay offs to counter poor earnings, and low-energy sales culture.
