Pros

Good smart people, trying to do their best Reasonable benefits but they have diminished over the years Flexible work hours in some areas of the business

Cons

Politics have taken over. The politically correct option overrules doing the right thing for the business, and the customer Technology and architecture takes a back seat to the manager's desire to manage up and make themselves look good The deep management structure makes it very difficult for technologists to get things done. The engineering teams sit idle waiting for management to dictate what or what not gets done Most of the management have lost their technology skills - yet they wont let anyone else make technology decisions. They protect their turf at all costs by playing politics with their team - unfortunately the technologists become scapegoats. Sadly, good technologists do not last very long, and leave for greener pastures.

Pros

It is all about design, innovation, creativity. Managing by results style of company Heavy investment in developing associates. Great tools, inspiring vision and mission. Employees feel they do an important work, to the watch you are wearing to the next biggest sustainable building in the world. All using Autodesk design tools.

Cons

Managing by results may sometimes present issues in terms of deliveries of teams objectives, some teams may be more performing than others under this management practice.

Pros

Great technology, nice benefits, great stock plan for employees, interesting work.

Cons

Senior Leadership team prefers to think and theorize rather then focus on managing the company for serious growth. Many silos are allowed to exist and divisions are given far to much autonomy. The company could have 2X the revenue if the C level executives had serious business experience.
