Pros

Decent compensation for Toronto area, although not top of the line. Good benefits. Complex, impactful project with a lot of unknowns and growth opportunities.

Cons

Management not living up to the mission. Little communication about the plans and direction. Little to no time for team-scope planning, design and implementation. Trying to run without crawling. Trying to run a start-up but things have go through upper management. Any feedback you provide feels dismissed. People cycling in and out. No strong product team. Discouraging that the stock plan got cut without a balancing of total compensation.

Pros

1. Gives Hybrid work culture.

Cons

1. Relatively less salary (13LPA). 2. Not great work life balance (at least in my team). I know for a fact that certain manager had asked an intern and an SDE-1 to even work on weekends without ANY overtime! 3. Not a lot of growth. Please note: All this depends a lot on the team you end up in.

Pros

Strong benefits package Flexible hours and remote work options

Cons

Highly siloed teams with poor cross-department collaboration. Weak work/life balance, long hours often expected, but then the extra hours put in are not appreciated. Promotions are driven more by connections than performance. Outdated, overly complex software products that are difficult to modernize or maintain. Layoffs occur regularly, yet similar roles are soon re-posted and filled. Heavy spending on management, admin, and sales rather than product development. Products are outdated and mostly in maintenance mode, yet still sold at outrageously high prices. Subscription model locks customers in and customers are left with nothing if they stop paying. Work often feels more valued by customers than by Autodesk’s own management team. Software is buggy, but the development team is too small to properly fix issues and instead focuses on adding or removing features or making cosmetic changes. Bloated management, with insufficient focus on developers to create the best products.
