Poor EIS, Awesome Autodesk

Administrator

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Nice Benefits, energetic ppl and nice location views . Training, Sabbatical and holiday programs are best in their own class

Cons

EIS Infrastructure division. It completely runs opposite to what Autodesk does. Too much of legacy minded thoughts, failure to adapt Saas based mind set which company already even though heavily expensed. Internal IT is fragile. One would expect to have complete CMDB , Full monitoring,Automated break fixes but still lot manual and still lot of excels and emails. Reason weak skilled admins and poor Management.

Pros

Good compensation and benefits. Modern, well located office in downtown San Francisco. Overall strong portfolio of products. Good work life balance.

Cons

The shift to a "subscription" business is only in the best interests of the company, not customers. Way too many re-organizations of the business. I worked for 5 different managers in only 3 years. The company is trying to be nimble and disrupt like a startup, but $2+ billion company takes a long time to implement significant change.
