Great energy and vibrancy. Great ethos and culture. Opportunities to travel and work around the world with motivated people. Great training in a variety of areas. Great conferences like TechX and AU to attend.
A company that wants to make an impact.
Cons
Change and adaptability is expected of everyone which is not easy for everyone.
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.
smart employees, interesting technology and projects, stable company, changing exec management over last year, great benefits and good work/life balance
Cons
not great in innovation, does not reward risk-taking, not a meritocracy, changing exec management over last year, hard work is not rewarded
