Pros
Anything that Autodesk can do to be nice to employees, as long as it requires only spending money and no complex thought, they do. The reward package is second to none and generally speaking people are very pleasant. Autodesk also has a lot of market influence so you can often hope to work on something that gets used a lot by customers doing exciting work.
Cons
Planning and organisation are things which never touch Autodesk at any point. Internally they are chaotic with departments and teams working at complete cross-purposes all over the place. They politics is also unhealthy -- not in the sense of evil or repressive, but more in the sense of all the decision making happens miles from the work-face... Senior managers are impossibly remote and irrelevant. Middle managers have no idea what the actual detailed issues facing the company are, so instead generate a stream of spin and "initiatives" which in theory drive the company but actually just gets in the way. Projects are launched with great fanfare, planned only in the broadest terms, then teams spend some years trying to live with the Realpolitik in a way which still permits them to do something useful. After that the project never ends, instead it is just quietly forgotten and there is never any objective attempt to determine whether it succeeded. Frequently you will find yourself doing what you know is the wrong thing, but which has the correct politically acceptable labels associated with it.
