Small changes every few months, one retrench every 1-2 years

Senior engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good place for managers.. Some works from home frequently, some just look at the monitor all day long, some just walk around and making noise in the floor. They are nothing more than a placeholder, contribute nothing to the company and the team, but earn the most and most relax.

Cons

Engineers are treated as low cost, easily replaceable workers. You think you just get promoted to principal engineer previous year and you are good? Too bad, you get retrenched due to the reason that your job can be replaced by younger and cheaper engineer.

Don't expect any job security

Pros

Good people and good working conditions (except for a move to horrible open-plan offices - seriously, does anyone think that's a good idea?).

Cons

I have worked there twice, and been laid off twice. It doesn't matter how good you are or how hard you work, Autodesk periodically lays off whole departments. So if you happen to work for the wrong manager, goodbye. If you work there, just be aware that your job could suddenly end tomorrow.

Pros

Cool offices, I need to enter 5 words

Cons

Weak management, a lot of restructuring, too many project managers, no one that actually DOES any work, everything is outsourced to either agencies or contractors.
