Big ship trying to turn

Pros

Good compensation and benefits. Modern, well located office in downtown San Francisco. Overall strong portfolio of products. Good work life balance.

Cons

The shift to a "subscription" business is only in the best interests of the company, not customers. Way too many re-organizations of the business. I worked for 5 different managers in only 3 years. The company is trying to be nimble and disrupt like a startup, but $2+ billion company takes a long time to implement significant change.

Pros

Used to love working here. Immediate reporting managers were helpful, understanding and even open. Benefits are always good. Some lucky organizations inside Autodesk are still fun to work with.

Cons

Management doesn't have a vision, plan or direction. New managers assigned think that they are rock stars but lack minimal patience to understand any underlying issue. And over that, management is lethargic

Good if you're an engineer, otherwise steer clear

Business Outlook

Pros

Good benefits like sabbaticals and health insurance. Interesting projects and markets that keeps the company innovating. Pay is ok, could be better, could be worse.

Cons

If you're a business person, just skip over it and go to a real company. Their marketing and business leadership is inexperienced and about a decade behind every other company in the industry in terms of thought, sophistication, and knowledge. Most executives in the organization come from software or engineering and actually have no real non-Autodesk experience in their respective fields. It's also extremely difficult to be promoted or move around due to an inflexible culture, strange org structure, and lack of resources for you to own something.
