Not bad, but far from good (in China)

Pros

Great and interesting software to develop, flexible work time, and work with many talent peoples. It's a well recognized and famous company in CAD industry.

Cons

The low level local management team sucks. They just play kiss-up games all days to satisfy their upper managers, but don't care their employees. Salary have no competitiveness compared with other US software companies in China. There is no room for promotion.

Pros

Autodesk is still a good place to work. There are so many genious in Autodesk. I have to admit that there are still some people not qualified.

Cons

There is no growth for individuals. I do see people are losing their passion here.

Pros

Autodesk Media & Entertainment (formely Discreet Logic) is a relaxed work environment. The building itself is a renovated boat factory, giving it a very industrial-chic design. Fluo-colored chairs decorate the lobby, where you also find several high definition TVs on rolling pods. You will find the latest game consoles and games to relax during lunch hours or the always popular weekly cocktail on Friday afternoon. Beer, wines, chips and theatre-style popcorn are all available free of charge to wrap up the week. Major software releases are also celebrated with parties. You will find very passionate people at Autodesk. Proud of their work and the reputation of their product suite.

Cons

Autodesk has recently become this software monster, swallowing smaller companies at an alarming rate. To the point that it now faces competition within its own product line (Maya vs 3D Studio Max). The acquisition of Discreet Logic is still not fully popular among the Montreal employees. Some relinquish the "glory days". This can leave newcomers wondering if they missed the boat. Recent compressions worldwide have also affected the morals in the company. Autodesk has a tradition of hiring lots of interns every single term, but the opportunities for employment beyond internships are slim at best. Furthermore, if an opportunity arises, there are string attached like a limited duration and few benefits.
