Pros

Great work/life balance. Little perks like automatic coffee machines to more manually operated ones. Seltzer water machines, snacks and social events to help you feel connected with your coworkers.

Cons

With the Exception of GPS, lots of things come with limitations for the support teams. The flexibility of where to work doesn't exist. The flexibility of working from home isn't the same. And with the switch from PTO to DTO, the "Week of Rest" where Autodesk shuts down around Christmas time is meaningless to the support teams as they still need to work. The culture code of being able to speak up (be brave) hasn't penetrated well into GPS. The most challenging part is compensation. Bonuses are great, raises, not so much. So the longer you work there, the farther you fall behind. And almost every year there is some sort of reorg and oddly it occurs right before your performance review. I've had twice as many managers than the number of years at Autodesk. Others have had it worse. And with the announcement of the new Hybrid (flexible workplace) position for everyone*, it turns out there were a lot of exceptions for support roles. Several people have left my immediate team since this hybrid announcement, and others like myself are looking to move on.

Pros

Strong culture of employee support and innovation, combined with corporate values aligned with equity and sustainability. A very broad mix of products, ongoing acquisitions, a global presence and both direct and indirect sales makes Autodesk a very dynamic and interesting place to work.

Cons

People stay a long time and leadership relies heavily on that fact, so there isn't as much career growth as you might find elsewhere and salaries probably lag behind as well.
