Business Outlook

Pros

- Great Culture - Dynamic - Winners - Creative - Mega talented staff - Great offices - Great compensation package (Many companies in the recession are cutting benefits, Autodesk have paid annual bonus and maintained full benefits package. Much credibility to them). - Going into new markets eg Consumer is exciting

Cons

- Few outside of the industry have heard of the Autodesk brand or name. This is very frustrating as its a hidden gem of a company. Great to work for and its products help design most of the world around us, be it cars, planes, building, bridges, visual effects in films (eg Avatar, Inception, Lord of the Rings), and most of the videogames today. Very cool but very unknown.
