Pros

New Exec. Mgmt. seems to be pointing the company in the right directions.

Cons

Mutual admiration society preferring to hide its head in the sand rather than acknowledge and address realities. Poor decision making by lower mgmt. State of fear of loosing ones position creates an environment where employees tell managers what they think they want to hear vs what they need to know. Fierce protectionism of the tenured in the face of inefficient, wasteful and expensive practices. Hold's on to 1980's reasoning for today's management style, without asking why? If its not on fire, "don't put too much effort into it". Continuous improvement is not practiced. Tremendous efforts by some to hide the results of their actions and lack of action. Corrosive underpinnings.

Pros

amazing people, exciting projects, very transparent management, work life balance, 6 weeks sabbatical, annual tech summits, UX summits, various platforms (Lyyda, Pluralsight..) for learning new technologies.

Cons

none that I can think of. Autodesk really cares about its employees. I highly recommend Autodesk.

Lots of politics

Pros

Fantastic products and strong R&D

Cons

Significant politics in a toxic environment. Director promotions are not always given based on merit or competences but much more on "friendship".
