Autodesk reviews

Autodesk has taken a sharp turn for the worse. The recent decision to lay off 9% of the workforce while keeping only low-paid "executors" shows a clear prioritization of short-term cost-cutting over long-term innovation and talent retention. Instead of investing in skilled professionals and a sustainable future, leadership seems more interested in appeasing active investors through superficial savings. Morale is at an all-time low, institutional knowledge is walking out the door, and there's no clear strategic vision beyond trimming expenses. Unless there's a major course correction, it's hard to see a positive path forward.

Good benefits, management is disorganized and could improve. Initiatives should be better planned out before handed down to engineering to build. This would improve moral and reduce employee frustration.
