I love my job!

Pros

This company is amazing! When you start you get a decent sized home office stipend but the on going benefits are great as well, including but not limited to a monthly WiFi reimbursement, a yearly wellness reimbursement, the option to work from a foreign country for up to a month a year, stock options, and much more! Aside from that, all the people I’ve worked with thus far are so easy to get along with and everyone truly pulls their weight.

Cons

Like any large company, there are occasional layoffs,

Pros

Autodesk offers a great deal of flexibility, which has made it easier to maintain a healthy work-life balance. The ability to work remotely and manage my schedule is something I really appreciate, though there are times when workload demands can make that balance harder to sustain. I also value the overall culture at Autodesk. The environment is generally welcoming, collaborative, and people-focused, with colleagues who are supportive and willing to help. At the same time, there can sometimes be a noticeable difference between how leadership views the employee experience and what teams are experiencing day to day.

Cons

In terms of growth, I appreciate that Autodesk provides access to professional development opportunities and meaningful benefits like sabbaticals. However, career progression can feel somewhat limited or slow, especially when teams are impacted by restructuring or shifting business priorities. I’ve had positive experiences with many peers and managers who are committed and thoughtful in their work. That said, communication from senior leadership could be clearer and more transparent, particularly during times of change, as this would help employees feel more informed and secure.
