Pros

Generally, people are intelligent and collaborative. If you are lucky and work on projects that are top priorities in the company, you will succeed.

Cons

Depends on your managers. If you got a manager who played favoritism and focused on their own branding, you won't be get assigned to projects that aligned with company's priorities. Then the chance of you succeeded and climb up will be very low. Company underwent restructuring without any notifications to their employees. Laid off decisions were not transparent, nor informed the team managers earlier, creating a toxic environment where you no longer had any job security (because you never know when will be your turn).

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.
