Definite pros and cons

Program manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Well-placed in market. Progressively moving to cloud and toward subscription. Good compensation package including annual bonus and sabbatical every 4 years.

Cons

Autodesk is, under the covers, many disparate teams -- some of which treat their employees better than others. Because Autodesk has grown through acquisitions, teams remain siloed, and coordinating across teams can be difficult. Further, Autodesk does periodic, and sometimes arbitrary, layoffs -- cutting teams, roles, even whole offices -- this can breed dissatisfaction and disloyalty.
