A lot of room for improvements

Pros

Benefits package: very good private health insurance, above average food allowance. Good for a first sales experience: they give you space to develop your own sales strategy and recently more coaching sessions. Helpful and friendly colleagues. Big name on curriculum. LGBTQA+ Friendly

Cons

Commission structure changes every quarter, no stability in that regard and is perfect to demotivate sales people. Progress within the company is very slow, if you enter in an entry level job you will be stuck for quite some time to progress to a more senior sales role like account manager. There is a lot of mentioning of improving job roles and responsibilities but expect to wait for it endlessly. Middle management is more focused on reporting (pulling reports from salesforce) than actually developing people. More focus on KPI (callrate, call time) than actual value adding activities. HR is very sharky eg. Selling the job, salary negotiations and can even belittle you when going for a promotion. Be prepared to be your manager’s best friend if you want to get a minor yearly salary increase. Lately big turnover of people.

Pros

Great products and very skilled employees. The company is very collaborative, has good partnerships with other companies, and has great credibility in the market. Benefits are really good and I hear they are getting better with the new VP of HR.

Cons

From what I have seen and heard since I left, it is very hard for a woman to get promoted in specific departments. It's a shame as I would love to recommend to other woman to pursue Autodesk especially for women in the IT or product development areas but I would not do so right now.

Thank you for your comments and we take them very seriously. At Autodesk we take strong efforts to ensure equal opportunity for all groups, including women. In addition, we have specific programs in place which support women in the workplace, including an employee resource group for women and a high potential development program. We also proactively monitor the experiences of our employees, including women, through employee experience surveys and listening sessions. Autodesk is also on Forbes Best Employers for Diversity 2019 list and has received a 100% rating from Human Rights Campaign on their corporate equality index. While we are still learning on our diversity, inclusion and equity journey and there is room for improvement, there is a lot that is very positive for women at Autodesk.
