Pros

Really cool products. Great talent in workforce. Beautiful workplaces. So much potential to create great products.

Cons

Company only cares about pleasing stockholders and not customers. Would consistently bypass needed product improvements that existing customers were begging for and instead focus on sexy shiny bauble features that would attract new customers. They didn't care if customers complained because Autodesk's strategy is to buy up any potential product competitors so customers have no choice. Horrible place to work if you care about producing quality products and giving customers what they need. Also, it suspiciously seemed that "older" folks were being "encouraged" to leave by offering the juicy projects to younger staff. Politics were toxic. Managers took care of themselves and hung their people out to dry.

Pros

The very low redundancy package you will receive when they fired you. Less than half than other IT companies in Ireland. They are moving the department with a third party to India, do not apply, they are still posting jobs.

Cons

No respect and lies without stop, Client Services doing everything, from Sales to Tech Support and the level of stress is so high for the salary. The pay is very low for Ireland and the job. They will tell you how much they care about you , but they will fire you in a second ,give you a super bad redundancy package and tell the rest how good they threat their employees.

Pros

Spacious and bright downtown Toronto office.

Cons

I worked at Autodesk in Toronto for a number of years. My direct manager created a toxic work environment with childish, vindictive behaviour. He had a brazen attitude towards workplace norms; comments and "jokes" directed at female colleagues would make everybody present uncomfortable. Unfortunately, upper management took no corrective action after being made aware of the manager's behaviour. I ended up choosing to leave after much soul-searching.
