Pros

Good smart people, trying to do their best Reasonable benefits but they have diminished over the years Flexible work hours in some areas of the business

Cons

Politics have taken over. The politically correct option overrules doing the right thing for the business, and the customer Technology and architecture takes a back seat to the manager's desire to manage up and make themselves look good The deep management structure makes it very difficult for technologists to get things done. The engineering teams sit idle waiting for management to dictate what or what not gets done Most of the management have lost their technology skills - yet they wont let anyone else make technology decisions. They protect their turf at all costs by playing politics with their team - unfortunately the technologists become scapegoats. Sadly, good technologists do not last very long, and leave for greener pastures.

Pros

The people in the trenches at Autodesk Media & Entertainment are some of the best reasons to work there. With few exceptions, they're bright, motivated, and very capable.

Cons

The mid-level management can be uninspiring. Career paths are very difficult to come by. Employees have to make their own way in the company not only without support but often by fighting against their own management keeping them from growth opportunities. Favoritism and a sense of an "old boys club" can also be problematic.

Pros

decent pay, they hire good people (to then mistreat them, but the coworkers are fun)

Cons

the entire ACC org is a mess, and only got worse the longer I was there Best decision I've made in my career was leaving this toxic place behind. Reminds me of a quote I saw, "if your company has a high turnover rate in the most unstable job market this generation has seen, your company is the problem"
