      say more and do less

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Benefit is not bad. (Only in Singapore but not in Shanghai and US). You can have very good work life balance.

      Cons

      Too many politics. Tech is not the most important thing and even it's the most unimportant. You have to say more and do less, and you are even required to be such gay by your manager. Making your boss happy is the most important point, even he is totally wrong.

      Great engineers, not so great management

      Principal software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The products are very interesting, and the engineers are great, supportive people. Autodesk is trying to solve real world problems and make a difference. All the intentions are good. Work life balance depends on the team you work for, but is good in most cases. Working with teams in different time zones can be challenging, but you can use flex working hours to get things done during the day if you are expected to work at odd hours.

      Cons

      Sometimes projects are started that make no sense to the engineers. Any discussion on why it may not work out is ignored/suppressed/discouraged. Later, you find out that the project has failed because the people working on it are now doing something else. Projects fail very quietly and are swept under the carpet. No one at the executive level is held accountable for failed projects and no analysis is done to find out what happened. And this happens over and over again, causing loss of morale.
