Pros

The product lines service a range of interesting engineering fields, so you'll probably be working on something cool. Like any big company, it has micro climates, but generally you'll find yourself working with great people who are very goal focused. Over the years, my teammates have been the best part of working at Autodesk. Benefits and bonuses are good. Good opportunities for women to advance into leadership roles. Management is flexible about work hours and working at home when needed. Sabbatical perk (one 6-week-contiguous vacation offered every 4 years) is awesome, and some buildings allow pets at work. Annual tech summit allows individuals and groups to show off new work and experiments, and usually has a couple excellent technical guest speakers. Good range of on-site training in soft skills. San Francisco location offers the opportunity for employees to learn to use extremely cool manufacturing tools at Pier 9.

Cons

Work/Life balance could be better. People habitually work more than a standard 40 hours. A global workforce means meetings either very early or late might be needed in your team. Historical pattern of layoffs every 3 to 4 years can make workers feel insecure in their positions. Not much support for technical training; engineers are expected to pick up new skills on their own time and dime, for the most part. Habitually understaff certain roles, like UX and Pubs.
