Pros

Autodesk software is used to create truly amazing things from the products we use, the building we inhabit, the roads we drive on and the 3D entertainment we watch and play. I love getting to work on interesting projects with smart people, and I've had the opportunity to lead a large team and take on more responsibility each year. The great thing about Autodesk is that hard work and good results are rewarded with more resources to scale those results, not simply more work. This is a real contrast to larger tech companies who are constantly cost cutting. Another thing I really like is that no matter what function I interact with in the company from finance, legal, marketing, engineering, IT, HR etc., people tend to be really good and fun to work with on the whole. It's refreshing when marketing and legal can actually get along! There are also awesome benefits for U.S. employees like a 6-week paid sabbatical every 4 years. That sabbatical is a huge retention factor for me. The company also supports volunteering during work hours for up to 4 hours per month, which allows me to be involved volunteering in my children's classroom.

Cons

Consensus driven decision-making can be a challenge to adjust to for employees coming from other organizations that have more top-down decision making.

Pros

Holidays were very good and the additional holidays each year was very enticing. Work environment was great and the people were nice as well.

Cons

Pay could have been more substantial. The company could also provide better training. This could have helped retention and performance

Pros

Good compensation, culture and work life balance.

Cons

Management hired and rehired many bad apples from the industry. Not valuing good long serving staff but rather hire villains from outside.
