Pros

Organized. Good pay. Good benefits.

Cons

Bottom line tops all, including quality, innovation and personnel, more so than other businesses. American head office calls the shots, with Montreal having some say, but not Toronto. Republican slant politically. They buy innovation, they don't make it. They almost discourage it.

Pros

Smart folks in a company that seems to pay well - but not worth the cost one pays to work there on many levels.

Cons

In my experience they were cutting marrow and bone and to the detriment of the company, carelessly, and without regard for people who had devoted themselves to the company, some of them for decades, and apparently because some of these folks were at the higher income levels. Senseless spending, senseless cuts, mindless, cold, calculating, unpleasant place to work. At times bordering on cruelty in its coldness. In my own situation I feel delighted to be free of the company, but I was completely devoted and I do believe it was a senseless cut. As one admin said, “Autodesk is spending like a drunken sailor,” and I witnessed the senselessness first hand and then the cruelty of the cuts. They then asked many employees to come back as temporary workers without benefits and at lower wages.
