Overworked with unpaid OT hours, no career progression

Partner services

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The initial pay package isn't too bad, just only that you will be stuck very much to that amount as there isn't much bonus or increments to expect in the next years due to the management's cost cutting.

Cons

The management lacked transparency, covered up lots of information, did not honestly communicate to people on the floor. For every end of quarter, staff were required to work plenty of unpaid overtime hours, sometimes on weekends as well. No compensation was given for unpaid OT whatsoever, and while we needed to meet the quota for productivity, we were piled on with volunteer projects which we needed to work on after work hours.

Thank you for providing us this feedback. I'm sorry to hear about your experience, particularly with the overtime. I want to provide you with the opportunity to reach out to HR about the issue. Autodesk has a 3rd party service in place that you can use to talk about workplace issues such as work hours and provide feedback anonymously (855-822-9535). Another option would be to contact your HR business partner. I have passed along this review to the appropriate HR leadership.

Pros

They hire hard-working, highly intelligent and dedicated employees in a global company. Great benefits, nice life/work and opportunities to volunteer hours.

Cons

Management, often floundering and directionless, drunk on the "Cool Aid". Poor development. Little/no chance to advance or segue into new role.
