Pros

They put people first. They are very generous. They understand that people want to evolve professionally and provide means to that end. People are fun to work with. I learned a lot here. They are very considerate and many people stay for 5+ years which is uncommon in the tech scene.

Cons

Some of the tasks are done by specialized teams, so if you are looking for a place were you do it all like a small startup, be ready to submit forms in old looking html pages and use slack channels with people from abroad for things like credentials and configurations instead of doing it yourself.

Pros

The individual contributors, your peers you work with day in and day out are fantastic people! At the IC level, for the most part, it feels like everyone is in the fight together. The work/life balance is good depending on which business unit/team you're aligned with. The benefits are pretty solid, especially the 6 week sabbatical.

Cons

Autodesk moves at the pace of a snail, very slow to take action on anything. Selling is very difficult with all the undocumented approvals, processes, red tape and very few people are willing to actually help! Leadership doesn't care about the people their decisions impact. Feedback is rarely listened to and acted upon. Pay is terrible compared to competitors in this space. Autodesk has embraced a ton of change over the last few years with new marketing, sales and IT leadership and it shows. They are not shy in showing their desire to be the next Oracle at the expense of their people. They are constantly changing tools, processes, people, roles, you name it so you feel like you're under water constantly. Lipstick on a pig.
