Pros

Good company benefits, office location in barcelona, software industry leader in AEC.

Cons

Autodesk’s mid-market segment in AEC is dominated by a senior demographic, fostering an extremely political and slow-moving culture. Many employees are comfortable as order-takers, relying on Autodesk’s market leader status rather than driving growth. For more dynamic professionals coming from fast-paced environments, this culture may feel stifling. Attempts to introduce efficiency or innovative approaches are met with extreme resistance, as it might highlight inefficiencies in current way of work. Collaboration sometimes feels more like a power struggle than a team effort. Additionally, if you have a poor manager, be prepared to be used as a scapegoat for their shortcomings. It’s a common practice, as the culture is a zero ownership culture.

Pros

Autodesk is a great employer who takes care of their employees and puts a lot of emphasis on mental health and work life balance. Very open and transparent communication, Management mostly open-minded and understanding.

Cons

HR in Barcelona is many times useless. Seems often like they are more representing the company then being the voice of employees. Especially when it comes to topics like salary. They are trying to keep people as low as possible, especially when you want to grow in the company internally, which is a very bad habit and is not a healthy company culture. Also, salaries are not competitive if you compare it to other Sales positions in other major companies in Barcelona and area.
