Pros

Autodesk is No.1 company in Graphic Area in the world. Peopel can work as more important member, do more important things compare to other foreign companies in China. The hardware of work environment is great here. Can gain more career opportunities in Autodesk. Benifits are good than other company in China.

Cons

Communication b/t Divisions are not good enough. Resource cross divisions are hard to be reused. Every Division has its own process, development skills, and knowledge sharing is not enough b/t divisions. Employee quality is a big problem after purchase HSL. Salary are Competitive enough compare to the Influence of Autodesk in China.

Pros

Good life work balance - though sometimes you have to work more than 8 hours a day before shipping the product, which is common among other corps in software industry. Good office location - don't have to worry about commute

Cons

compensation is just so so - is it that hard to pay a seasoned engineer 2000 bucks a month? too much politics for such a middle size corp management doesn't pay attention to employee's career's growth - take a look at Microsoft's fancy career model (yeah I agree Google doesn't have that too but come on...)

Pros

good work environment. work schedule can be flexible, I have my control over pace in work without feeling people are looking over my shoulder. most of the people are nice. work-life is somewhat balanced, even though every year there are a few months that could be really busy. 6 weeks sabbatical every 4 years is definitely a plus. generally compensation is pretty good.

Cons

not enough career growth opportunities, you do get recognized if you do a good job, but obviously it is not of manager's concern about your future career development. the whole company lacks the spirit of innovation, as one of the leaders in CAD/CAM industry, it seems the only way to develop its "own" technology is to acquire other small business.
