Pros

Autodesk is truly working on software to help customers design and create a better world. The examples are all around you. They pay their employees well in compensation and benefits. If you are a designer, artist, engineer-type, you can work on some amazing projects and products.

Cons

Major reorganizations every year or so. Working with 4th VP in three years. Hard to establish teams and deliver on mid to large initiatives when accountability shifts so often. If you are not a politician, it can be challenging to move up in the organization. Hard work, intelligence, loyalty, and skill do not always reflect in your title. Don't ever confuse Work/Life Balance with Work/Life Flexibility. Autodesk expects long hours, but does allow you to work them on the weekend, evenings, and early mornings, so you can squeeze in family time when they are awake.

Pros

People are super nice. Offers great benefits and work environment. Flexible work schedule and managers are often willing to support for growth prospects. With the advent of cloud, there is so much more to learn and explore for all.

Cons

Salary freeze and layoffs at the company may be distracting at times.

Pros

Pretty good compensation and benefits, some work from home.

Cons

Zero job security or opportunities for advancements: 10% layoff last year, 13% this year. Consulting is an afterthought to this company, there is no consistent direction and the new CEO clearly has the Consulting organization in the crosshairs, as it was hit to the tune of 30%. Prepare to be nothing but a speck of dust in the wind.
