Pros

Culture code is great. Good to see some departments still practicing employees to be themselves, and express their concerns out, for the betterment of the departments. Do not lose this.

Cons

Recent hiring of sales leaders in Singapore are appalling. Self-absorbed and highly toxic to the current culture, insecure, primitive(or non-existent) leadership style, selfish, highly concerned about useless matters, and only want to ruin the existing sales teams of their otherwise excellent camaraderie by bringing in more of their "own friends and enablers in" just because they do not understand the CAD business and "want to do things their way". Severely need to revamp their hiring processes of such leaders and such sales people, before they start to lose more of the already existing good people.

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.
