Pros

Golden handcuffs. You'll get all the monetary incentives to stay.

Cons

23 manager changes in 25+ years. Always a constant reset of values and goals. More value on H-1B. Promotes the worst people to leadership roles. AI is more important than humans. Movement within is impossible unless it's decided for you. Inclusion is fake as the ageism seeks to lay you off.

Pros

Autodesk is a global company, making and selling amazing software..... that no one seems to have heard of. If you're OK explaining that no, Autodesk does not make auto parts.... or desks ( although customers use our software to design and even manufacture both! ) then Autodesk is a great place to work. The Hybrid work force option is amazing - work from home / work from the office as long as you are getting things done - is the future of work. Our customers do really cool things with the >100 software tools Autodesk makes and Autodesk was smart enough to start moving into cloud long before competitors. There is a bonus pool - which funds depending on how the company does against it's goals each quarter, good healthcare options and even a stipend to partially pay for home internet if you work from home. Autodesk assesses people annually against their goals for the year - crush your goals and your bonus check can get bumped up a bit. Over-all great place to be especially if you really want to contribute. Would recommend.

Cons

Frequent reorganizations, a new acronym for your new organization every year - you may need a secret decoder ring to figure out what the latest organization name means and does. Just had another 'culture reboot' - in my opinion 'Culture' is something that grows organically based on how management treats people and drives expectations. Kinda silly to think you will change the culture by e-mailing a video training and adding a bright color to your marketing materials. For a while, Autodesk seemed to care more about what new hires looked like than about what they could 'do' - but that seems to be fading. A comically-bad office of diversity still exists, but they seem to have stopped suggesting we add pronouns to our profiles - most of us secretly hope these folks will be quietly discharged in a future workforce redeployment, ( but it's still not politically correct to admit that, so be sure to play along ). 'Hire the best, and treat everyone like you would like to be treated' - would really suffice as a culture statement....and I think that really is Autodesk's core value....never needed an office of self-important administrators to figure that out - it's our culture.
