Pros

Autodesk is a strong company and established leader in the design field. They have a great diversity of exciting products in a field that is hard for other companies to break into. The compensation and benefits package is good.

Cons

Complex business processes cost the company and slow them down. Management could be stronger. Innovation in business systems is behind the technology curve.

Pros

Autodesk provides the benefits of a large company: good benefits and a stable work environment.

Cons

There is no clear (or any?) path for career advancement. Of course, like so many companies, the vast majority of new hires have been in Shanghai. With no influx of junior programmers, there is not much opportunity for advancement. At least in our development organization, the hierarchy is very shallow. There are very few managers. Most "senior" software engineers comprise a team of one.

Pros

6 week sabbatical every 4 years.

Cons

Long working hours...every weekend, every evening... even though they support work life balance, the project deadlines are so tight it's impossible not to work 60+ hr weeks every week also, stupid metrics like defect counts determine quality of work.
