Pros

Great products. Customers love the products. Lots of autonomy to take initiative for results. Constantly innovating to lead the industry.

Cons

Management is spotty. Some very good managers, and some loose canons. Lots of focus on activities rather than results. There is usually a reorg every year, or even more frequently, so the job you hire into will not be the job you will be doing a year from now.

Pros

-Cultural diversity -Consistent and calculated change efforts (a company in motion stays in motion) -Supported growth and development -Established tech company with years of finding out what works and what doesn't from a target market, employee satisfaction, and performance/productivity perspective. -Intensely refined succession planning -laid-back environment -Good team dynamics -Awesome benefits

Cons

My experience with Autodesk is fairly exclusive as my position and department have since been dissolved and reorganized into successfully managed divisions. Major cons: -No balance of right and left-brain thinkers (overwhelmingly engineer-minded) -Management politics (found in every organization, unfortunately) -Still a bit "boys-club" with regard to the composition of the executive leadership and high-level managerial staff. -Large organization with residual hierarchy bubbles decreasing alignment along the key stakeholder pipeline... slowing down approvals, change initiatives, buy-in, etc. -Too many managers without aligned strategies and goals
