Pros

Autodesk is an innovative company making products that inspire people. It is common to see where you can make a real difference in peoples life.

Cons

Career paths are limited. Bonuses and Stock grants are not really tied to personal performance and are more of a reflection of how well you play politics.

Pros

- Interesting, cool, 'do-good' domains - design, architecture, animation, fabrication, 3d printing. - Israeli office compensation and benefits above industry average. - Products make positive and constructive impact on the world. - Israeli office 'simple employees' usually nice, friendly and very devoted. There's weekly soccer, choir, and some employees even go travelling abroad together annually!

Cons

These cons relate to the Israeli branch only. - Israeli office lost its startup spirit and intimate family company-like feel due to poor management (and not due to organic growth). - It is not uncommon for promotions to be affected by nepotism and internal politics rather than merit - Little care for the personal growth and career progression of existing employees. - Managers often treat employees in a patronizing, antagonizing and unappreciative manner. - Poor management leads to cumbersome project progress, and project-related decisions are made based on internal politics rather than what's best for the project and the company. Cross-site projects are especially ineffective. - While a couple of years ago the products developed at the Israeli office were at the forefront of technology and company strategy, most of the current work is focused on MAINTENANCE, without innovating much. - Office location is difficult to access for employees residing outside central Tel Aviv.

Pros

Salary is competitive. Good people who clearly like what they do. Benefits are excellent. Progressive company with some brilliant people.

Cons

Work/Life Balance is not as good as it could be. Too many layoffs if you are not in California. As such people tend to "horde" information to make themselves look good and justify their position.
