      Pros

      Good products, stable growing company. It’s a sea of average single gender but not very competitive ones so it’s pretty easy to shine if you’re even remotely good.

      Cons

      Lacks personality. Limited ability and no growth mindset. average to bad middle management team. Everyone has been there for 10+ years with no promotional prospects but hey, they’re happy

      Laying People Off is No Way to Run a Business

      Pros

      The stock price has soared since I left the company. Great for those who participated in the stock purchase plan.

      Cons

      Autodesk hires people when they're flush and lays them off when they're not. No company should be run this way. It's irresponsible to the employees and evidence of poor planning.

      Pros

      Emerging talent is bright, inquisitive, and brings a lot to the table. Job is described as "fast-paced" but you can set your own pace. Excellent work/life balance, never had to work on the weekends or stay up late. Constantly felt inspired by our customers who are creative thinkers.

      Cons

      Try to get the highest starting salary because it's difficult to get promoted -- even if everyone else is endorsing you, one person can prevent it from happening! Lots of favoritism at the top, but maybe that is typical at corporations. Mentorship is scattered and it's easy to get lost in the shuffle, your career gets stunted. Not as flashy as other tech companies (you still have to do your own dry cleaning lol). Lack of transparency whenever layoffs are about to happen (about every 12-15 months over 5 years I was there, and eventually my role was affected). Design culture is slow to adapt to modern methods... but I think they are on the right track. I just wish they kept Maria Giudice who was finally reinventing things!
