Pros

Autodesk is a fabulous company to work for - it's not perfect - but overall it's a great company to work for. It's a requirement that you give it your all/work hard - but I've fortunate to work for management chains that get it - and also support the work life balance.

Cons

Autodesk is going through lots of changes at this time...but I feel confident that we're moving in the right direction. Although change is scary to many people - I feel that it's an exciting time.
