Pros

The solutions and industry are interesting, and the projects as well as conversations with clients are highly engaging. The company places a strong emphasis on fostering an inclusive culture, and the many events organized make it a very pleasant and enjoyable work environment.

Cons

The strategy, both indirect (through partners) and direct (transactional)—creates confusion for both customers and employees. It’s often easier for someone external to get a job at the company, or you need to navigate internal politics by being visible and building relationships with managers. The salary packages are not very competitive, although the stock options help make the overall compensation more attractive. Autodesk recently underwent a round of layoffs, which has impacted the company's reputation to some extent

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.
