Autodesk reviews

- Overall messy structure (no doubt it has gotten better but still a long way to go) - No consistency across different countries within the region on targets. Don't make sense. Similar targets are given to all sales employees handling different regions and countries. - No work from home- not cool as team was told that work from home is possible before joining and flexibility was promoted. - Sales floor can feel like a call centre, call volume thoroughly tracked. - Yearly layoffs and reorganizations. - Constant fear that job wont be there if team doesn't perform. - Feels political- leaders from other team not happy with inside sales start up. (Kudos to inside sales leaders for rising against the bad sentiments though!) - Inside sales team is a good place to be but please speak to others before joining so you know what to expect in the country and region you are selling into. Some regions have a bad fate as compared to others.

The company is very siloed and it's hard to get things done with other teams don't want to work with you or have no incentive to help you. HR has never had a very supportive model. No mandatory and ongoing leadership training. Many people in senior leadership positions get the job because of time on the job, not because they have fantastic people leadership skills. No clear paths to promotion in many orgs, which leads to high attrition in the bay area with other tech companies that are willing to pay higher salaries. It seems very difficult to get rid of people who just downright don't do their jobs.
