CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Smart People Creative and Passionate People We really can change the world Well intentioned great benefits trusting environment strong relationships between peers and managers A lot of potential if we can get ourselves out of the way

Cons

SVPs are TOO competitive with eachother slows everything down we have too many redundancies in the product teams.....each SVP wants their own. no sharing or people, ideas, etc. CEO staff doesnt wear the company hat Very political....need to be a friend of the CEO Slow moving and too much process Support functions drive the org (tax, legal, etc) We are told to move fast - toward what? we can move fast but if we dont get rid of our big company processes nothing will change and AD will be left behind. People have personal agendas.

Pros

Great people, interesting products, decent work-life balance

Cons

Management structure very hierarchical, Autodesk is ho-hum traditional when it comes to managing staff and careers. Too many people called "managers" who are not given the time and priority to do so, skills are sorely lacking. How about trying to innovate with company culture and management practices and not just in your products? Introduce position rotation - *no one* should be in the same role for > 10 years! Politics play too large a role here.
