Good athmosphere, but not dynamic

Business Outlook

Pros

Relaxed work style, room to work on pet projects, at least in some locations salaries way above market average (Switzerland)

Cons

Complacency and lack of innovation, internal politics, lack of fresh blood (high salaries and other aspects of Autodesk's culture lead to low natural attrition) and few internal growth opportunities, skills often little valued and not much incentives to develop new ones, nepotism pretty widespread.

In some cases the opportunities and the compensation drive you to go the extra mile. While not a con, it can detract from work/life balance.
