Pros

- The product: Autodesk is the leader in the Architecture and design software industry, and everyone knows about it, which it makes relatively easy to sell and pitch - The team: you got to work with nice and friendly people, the Barcelona office has a very young vibe which it makes going to work every day very pleasant - Salaries are ok for Barcelona, but quite under the standards for a SaaS business - Office space is amazing, right in front of the beach, with some amazing views of the Mediterranean sea

Cons

- Commissions structure: you have to work for basically all Q1 and almost Q2 without a clear target, targets are usually ready in May/June which it makes selling quite hard with no direction and no clear numbers - Upper management is ok, entry managers are usually quite unexperienced and with no focus in their own employees development - Development: if you're looking to make a strong career look somewhere else. The Barcelona office is basically an inside sales machine (with a call center feeling), with few career progression opportunities

Pros

The individual contributors, your peers you work with day in and day out are fantastic people! At the IC level, for the most part, it feels like everyone is in the fight together. The work/life balance is good depending on which business unit/team you're aligned with. The benefits are pretty solid, especially the 6 week sabbatical.

Cons

Autodesk moves at the pace of a snail, very slow to take action on anything. Selling is very difficult with all the undocumented approvals, processes, red tape and very few people are willing to actually help! Leadership doesn't care about the people their decisions impact. Feedback is rarely listened to and acted upon. Pay is terrible compared to competitors in this space. Autodesk has embraced a ton of change over the last few years with new marketing, sales and IT leadership and it shows. They are not shy in showing their desire to be the next Oracle at the expense of their people. They are constantly changing tools, processes, people, roles, you name it so you feel like you're under water constantly. Lipstick on a pig.
