Business Outlook

Pros

Autodesk has been one of the great software companies for almost 30 years. The products lead the market, the people are smart, hardworking, and collaborative, and their are tremendous opportunities to grow, develop, and contribute.

Cons

The location in San Rafael is a bit of a commute unless you live in Marin. Only 2 weeks of vacation per year, but you do get Xmas week off andva 6 week sabbatical after 4 years.

Pros

It's a company that seems to understand and take seriously its obligations to community The people you work with are typically very bright

Cons

Not much emplowerment There could be a sharper focus on the importance of manager/employee relationships Managers tend to be upward looking as opposed to being focused on the development and well-being of their teams

Great place to work but very demanding

Business Outlook

Pros

- Extremely flexible hours - Fitness center on site (or fitness subsidy if not near the company gym) - Best holiday schedule of any company I've ever worked for (typical holidays plus week off from Christmas Eve to New Years Day).

Cons

- Many late meetings with Asia Pacific offices interferes with life/work balance. - Doesn't matter whether you've worked for the company for 1 week or 20 years, you get the same 12 days vacation per year. 6 week sabbatical every 4 years (that has to be taken all at once- not broken up). Would be nice to get acrue more vacation over time. - Lots of workaholics, so getting promoted requires a lot of work.
