Pros

Fantastic software that customers love. Offices are very nice. Benefits are outstanding, generous PTO, excellent health insurance at low cost, and more. CEO Carl Bass is a Rock Star. Employees and customers really respect him.

Cons

While customers love the software, many of them are still very unhappy about the changes to pricing model which makes it hard to sell to them. Relationships between resellers and Autodesk can be rocky. Company-wide, employees seem to spend more time navigating company politics than I've seen elsewhere. Perhaps that's because the company is so large?
