Autodesk is a hot mess. During the first few months of working there dozens of coworker admitted to having no idea what they were doing - zero fulfillment in their role, lack of structure and clear direction, too many internal meetings, zero idea how the sales compensation plan works and exactly how they get paid by it - and managment included in this and very open about having zero clue what they were doing or how anyone got paid exactly, but encouraged everyone to just keep doing it (whatever that means) to get promoted and move into the next role. This company has a million ways to communicate, which is actually making things worse, and yet has zero efficient structure or organization to anything. This is the most liberal company I’ve ever worked for. They throw all the benefits, food, perks and rainbows at you, but it feels so fake and empty there. They give you a false sense of inclusivity, that is unless you’re different and then you feel extremely unwelcome there. If you’re Christian, steer clear because your faith won’t matter here. During pride month the building was wrapped in giant rainbows, every door with glass had rainbow decals placed near the door handle, and every tv in the building was advertising gay pride month…why sexualize the workplace?? Posting rainbows around like that is actually slander against my religion too - but that doesn’t matter to you. Imagine if the building were wrapped in Jesus fish and every tv had an invite to Bible study on it… yeah, same. I’ve never worked for a company that felt like you’re just thrown into a heard of sleeping sheep going with the flow but not understanding a single thing they’re doing.
