      Pros

      Great benefits. Nice "off-site" meetings, nice parties. They spend $$$ on these.

      Cons

      They layoff ~10% of their workforce each year (which is what happened to me after 10 years on the job). Reporting out, every week, on your progress. Some of the departments do this monthly. Few report out quarterly. You are reporting on your progress con.stant.ly. It's a time sucker. Speaking of suckers, middle managers suck up with no shame to their upper management. It's disgusting.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Some great people, a commitment to improve the culture from the new CEO and his team. Autodesk products are amazing. Work hours are long but can be flexible. Occasionally able to see what you want to fix and go fix it.

      Cons

      Really behind in tech. Silos and highly politicized environment make it hard to move the tech forward. Lots of people think they are experts in their field but do not have current market experience, are unaware of current best practices and have been at Autodesk for 10+ years and think tenure = skill. Extremely hard to get promoted since the promotion pipeline is politicized. Salaries/comp is below market, Has a difficult culture unfriendly to minorities.

      Amazing products, talented people, but difficult culture

      Pros

      Working with highly skilled people who know the industry deeply. The products created are amazing and well recognized in the industry. Customers are highly engage and passionate about the tools. Offices are beautiful and well located.

      Cons

      Highly political culture that moves slowly. Re-orgs happen frequently, causing employees to feel insecure in their jobs, often resulting in unproductive behaviors and finger pointing. Many extremely talented people leave the company to find more productive and collaborative environments elsewhere.
