Pros

Amazing place if you dream to work in an environment where everyone jealous everyone, where doors of middle management will remain impossible to reach as you didn't start manager. Amazing way to work, pressured to work even during paid holidays or out of the usual working hours constantly. Admirable consideration for your experience and seniority, when middle managers ask you to do their jobs, capture your knowledge and treat you like a lemon when deeply squizzed. Lovely way to change company strategy every month calling this technology disruption to hide the poor capabilities of the Middle management to solve the executive' issues. Fantastic salaries, with your AIP build on the back of your colleagues. Big respect of the human dignity trapping its employees with sponsorship rules in middle east and Asian dictatures.

Cons

Has a huge respect for its customers, considered as money rigs for sales departments. Moving all the technology to the Cloud with an amazing invoicing methodology that makes impossible how much you will spend each year. Interoperability policy of their products closed to zero.

Pros

Benefits are nice. There are work from home options.

Cons

Autodesk was a great company to work before 2007 and all the acquisitions. Now you can expect re-org's every year. Expect long-long term "temporary/contract" employees. There is too much turnover in management, creating the Peter Principle and mass redundancy. I had 7 managers in 5 years, all who were more interested in furthering their careers rather than their team productivity. I witnessed many unethical practices. Promotion is rare - only lateral positions are offered. There's a major lack of women managers/executives.
