Turbulent organization with limited promotion opportunity

Pros

Autodesk is truly working on software to help customers design and create a better world. The examples are all around you. They pay their employees well in compensation and benefits. If you are a designer, artist, engineer-type, you can work on some amazing projects and products.

Cons

Major reorganizations every year or so. Working with 4th VP in three years. Hard to establish teams and deliver on mid to large initiatives when accountability shifts so often. If you are not a politician, it can be challenging to move up in the organization. Hard work, intelligence, loyalty, and skill do not always reflect in your title. Don't ever confuse Work/Life Balance with Work/Life Flexibility. Autodesk expects long hours, but does allow you to work them on the weekend, evenings, and early mornings, so you can squeeze in family time when they are awake.

Intern review - nice project but no full time opportunities

Machine learning intern

Business Outlook

Pros

My intern project my nice, exciting, and something that hasn't been done before in Autodesk. I was surprised with the amount of freedom and flexibility I had within the project.

Cons

Autodesk is not growing as fast as other computer\web companies. Therefore there are few full time opportunities available. That means you are waiting your summer internship in the hopes of getting a full time offer afterwards, because chances are you won't. Additionally, pay is very low compared to opportunities in other SF-based companies (big 4 and startups)
