Autodesk reviews

- compensation does not take inflation into account - promotions come pretty late and are rare - hard to switch teams/projects - projects are assigned to team without its input

The grad scheme is marketed as an opportunity to get your engineering career going with design & make projects. In reality, once you have finished the year of rotations there are almost no permanent roles available in this area. The focus is more on customer engaging roles such as content creation, QA, presenting & training, and the occasional customer visit. In the past, permanent roles for graduates could be created if you had an interest in a specific area, however this is no longer possible. Due to corporate goals, if any budget is released due to someone leaving, this budget is quickly moved to other areas. Therefore it is very difficult to progress your career if you would like to remain in a mechanical engineering type role. In order to be recognised within the company a lot of self-promotion is required.
