Pros

Some great people, a commitment to improve the culture from the new CEO and his team. Autodesk products are amazing. Work hours are long but can be flexible. Occasionally able to see what you want to fix and go fix it.

Cons

Really behind in tech. Silos and highly politicized environment make it hard to move the tech forward. Lots of people think they are experts in their field but do not have current market experience, are unaware of current best practices and have been at Autodesk for 10+ years and think tenure = skill. Extremely hard to get promoted since the promotion pipeline is politicized. Salaries/comp is below market, Has a difficult culture unfriendly to minorities.
