Pros

Benefits were there earlier but not now.

Cons

No job security — frequent reorganizations and sudden team changes create a sense of instability. Hiring and internal movement can feel subjective — sometimes driven by personal preferences rather than merit or qualifications. Favoritism can impact growth opportunities — certain individuals or teams get preferential treatment regardless of performance. Inconsistent management styles — employee experience varies widely depending on your direct manager. Recognition is not always based on effort or impact — visibility often matters more than results. Poor communication during transitions — layoffs, org changes, or strategic shifts are often not well communicated.

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.
